>>533922178I didn't know they had laundry machines on the planes too
>>533922178That's an engine failure, not a loss of hull. Please refrain from Dunning Kruger. I don't want you on my side. You're toxic like having RFK Jr. behind you trying to do math with a brain eaten by worms.
>>533922539It counts just the same going by the standards set during multiple recent conflicts for tallying materiel losses. If it was "loss of hull", by which I suppose you're referring to the fuselage, it would be considered (destroyed).
>>533922178>Atlanta>It's a iran war lossare you a dumb ass anon?That looks like a compressor stall anyways, so it's probably perfectly fine.
>>533923867>That looks like a compressor stall anywaysMajor malfunction with flames coming out - its fine
>>533924050faggot, I know you're scared of things you don't understand (like guns, women and engines) but sometimes flames shooting out the back isn't as bad as it seems. It happens quite often and really isn't a problem you tards The pussification of the world is going to ruin it.
>>533924050did they try turning it off and on again
lint is brutal wtf
>>533922178Toilet fire
>>533923867is the engine hanging off at that angle normal? You fucking deluded cunt
>>533925472If that's titanium, steel, and aluminum it's ruined, you retard. Engine needs scrapped and the plane is done for the year. The engine costs tens of millions of dollars itself>t. I work on GE and CFM turbofan engines and blades
>>533922372its a new feature, jet dry
>>533925729I just watched the video and can confirm, yes, it’s 100% normal for the engine to be hanging at the angle seen here, they are nearly parallel to the ground, despite the optical illusion caused by the angles involved between turbine intake and exhaust shrouds.
>>533922954Sorry. "loss of hull" is an industry term to mean what you would understand as "totaled" when you get your insurance payment for driving drunk and crashing into a bridge pylon. Same thing; means not worth fixing.
>>533925951>down for the year lol. Lmao, even. According to the military, whose planes btw are not nearly as well maintained as commercial aircraft, it’s a 2-3 day job, that they’ve condensed in to a 1min 13sec video.https://www.dvidshub.net/video/973606/always-ready-mcconnell-maintainers-swap-kc-135s-engine#:~:text=The%20722nd%20Aircraft%20Maintenance%20Squadron%20and%2022nd,on%20a%20KC%2D135%20Stratotanker%20at%20McConnell%20Air
