Abstract:

This report presents statistical information relating to gas turbine engine rotor failures which occurred during 1984 in commercial aviation service use. Two hundred and six failures occurred in 1984. Rotor fragments were generated in 114 of the failures and, of these, 18 were uncontained. The predominant failure involved blade fragments, 90.3 percent of which were contained. Seven disk failures occurred and all were uncontained. Seventy percent of the 206 failures occurred during the takeoff and climb stages of flight.
