Re: Qantas grounds A380s after Singapore emergency landing
I saw a programme, probably on Discovery, not that long ago that showed the development, testing and manufacture process of the Trent engines. Not only do they consider the reliability and efficiency, but considerable effort is taken over the safety of them should the worst happen. That the plane flew on fewer engines with no apparent significant issues, despite the visible damage is a testament to the safety standards of that design process.
Even so I suspect there will be many in the industry anxiously awaiting the findings of what went wrong.
