Abstract:

This report presents statistics relating to gas turbine engine rotor failures which occurred during 1985 in U. S. commercial aviation service use. Two hundred and seventy-three failures occurred in 1985. Rotor fragments were generated in 150 of the failures, and of these 14 were uncontained. The predominant failure involved blade fragments, 94.4 percent of which were contained. Six disk failures occurred and all were uncontained. Fifty-seven percent of the 273 failures occurred during the takeoff and climb stages of flight.
