Foreign object damage to the compressor blades of a Honeywell LTS101 turboshaft engine on a Bell 222, caused by a small bolt that passed through the protective inlet screen FOD deflection system on a PT6T installed on a Bell 412. Air enters from upper right, and pure air follows the curved ramp down to the compressor inlet (also covered by a ...
"Foreign object damage — in the form of, normally, birds — can also lead to engine fires. ... For example, the most famous bird strike event — which didn't result in engine fire but did ...
The erosion associated with the Kopp–Etchells effect presents costly maintenance and logistics problems, and is an example of foreign object damage (FOD). [ 11 ] Sand hitting the moving rotor blades represents a security risk because of the highly visible ring it produces, which places military operations at a tactical disadvantage when ...
PDA are a safety concern because they may be critical parts needed to continue safe flight, may damage other critical parts of the aircraft as they depart, may cause foreign object damage to other aircraft, or may cause serious injuries or damage to people and property on the ground. [2]
A gravel kit is a modification on an aircraft to avoid foreign object debris (FOD) damage or ingestion while operating on unpaved surfaces. Modifications generally include methods of preventing the nose gear spraying FOD into the engine and onto the underside of the fuselage or wings, and methods of preventing each engine from ingesting FOD from the ground directly in front of it.
Despite their size, there has been no significant property damage from the debris. [1] Burning up in the atmosphere may also contribute to atmospheric pollution. [2] Numerous small cylindrical tanks from space objects have been found, designed to hold fuel or gasses. [3] Notable examples of space debris falling to Earth and impacting human life ...
Only one report specifically mentions ice, [13] while another mentions "soft body FOD" (foreign object damage), [14] indicating that the damage was caused by a relatively soft object like a bird, or even ice, as opposed to (for example) a stone or an object made of metal.
Corneal abrasions are a common injury caused by contact with foreign objects. The eye can also be injured by a foreign object remaining in the cornea. Radiation damage can be caused by exposure to excessive light, often caused by welding without eye protection or being exposed to excessive ultraviolet radiation, such as sunlight.
