WHY IS THE PRATT & WHITNEY GTF ENGINE CRISIS STILL HAPPENING? The root of the problem traces back to contaminated powdered metal used in manufacturing critical engine components between 2015 and 2021. Microscopic impurities were accidentally introduced into the metal powder used to forge high-pressure turbine discs and other rotating parts. Those tiny contaminants created weak spots within the metal structure itself. Under the extreme heat, pressure, and rotational forces inside a jet engine, those weak spots can develop into micro-cracks far earlier than expected. And in aviation, even a tiny crack in a turbine component is a major safety concern. If a crack grows and a piece breaks loose, metal fragments can severely damage the engine’s internal components within seconds. That discovery triggered one of the largest inspection and recall campaigns in modern aerospace history. Hundreds of engines powering Airbus A320neo-family aircraft and A220s had to be removed, stripped apart, and inspected using specialized imaging techniques. The crisis then snowballed into a global supply chain problem: • Engines removed faster than replacements could be built • Spare engines depleted worldwide • Repair shops overwhelmed • Airlines forced to ground aircraft for months waiting on inspections and rebuilt engines Pratt & Whitney halted production of affected parts while fixing the manufacturing process and has been covering repairs and replacements under warranty at enormous cost. But economically and operationally, the GTF crisis has become one of the most disruptive engine issues the aviation industry has seen in decades. At the start of last year, 2025, Wizz Air was forced to ground around 40 Airbus A320neo family aircraft in its fleet due to the GTF issue. The video attached shows the state of aircraft parked, then during take-off.

Russia's largest domestic airline has begun canceling flights due to a lack of spare parts for airliners. S7 Airlines has canceled direct flights from Novokuznetsk to Moscow and on a number of other routes due to problems with the delivery of spare parts for its aircraft, according to Ilya Seredyuk, governor of the Kemerovo region. He pointed out that the air carrier's aircraft were purchased abroad, so S7 is forced to "conserve resources" and wait for spare parts to be delivered "through other channels."

There is a long checklist of items to go through before you get to hit the starter, so this clip is just the fun part. The engines are labeled engine #1 (left) and engine #2 (right). The first engine is started off the 24volt battery of the aircraft and the starter is released one the compressor reaches 55%. Once the first engine is up and running with the generator turned on, it makes the second engine spool up much quicker, as is has very little load to work against with the blades already turning at 85% rotor speed by this point. On odd calendar days we start engine number 1 first, and number 2 on even days. This is done to lessen the chance of us wearing out one engine more than the other. B212’s are intensive on maintenance, so each machine is dispatched with an engineer to oversee the maintenance. They will walk around the machine and check for (no) leaks for the first start of the day. 📸 by ig/bushpiloting Not an ad

Cathay Pacific A330 aborts its takeoff in Kaohsiung after a loud bang and what appeared to be flames from one of the aircraft’s engines. A video posted on Facebook of the incident shows the airplane suddenly decelerate after a bang is heard and a flash of flame is seen coming out of one of its engines. The aircraft veers off course slightly before correcting and safely taxiing back to the terminal. A Cathay Pacific spokesperson said CX431 was aborted “due to an engine technical problem”. The spokesperson apologized for the inconvenience that may have been caused by the incident, and said safety is a priority for the airline.

Gnome Omega (1909) - The Engine That Spun Aviation Forward In 1909, the Gnome Omega became the first mass-produced rotary engine, marking a major breakthrough in early aviation. At a time when aircraft struggled with heavy, unreliable, and overheating engines, Gnome introduced a radical solution: instead of the crankshaft turning, the entire engine-cylinders and all-rotated around a fixed crankshaft. This spinning design dramatically improved air cooling, eliminating the need for complex radiators, while also delivering an excellent power-to-weight ratio-a critical advantage for the fragile aircraft of the era. The Omega quickly powered some of the most important pioneers of flight, including aircraft used by Louis Blériot during the early days of aviation, helping push the limits of what was possible in the sky. Rotary engines would eventually be replaced by more efficient inline and radial designs, but for a crucial moment in history, they were the cutting edge of flight technology.

JUST IN: American Airlines flight forced to return to Las Vegas after an engine apparently caught on fire midair. American Airlines Flight 1665 was in the air for about 10 minutes after taking off from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for Charlotte, North Carolina. 153 passengers were on board, according to CBS News. The plane quickly turned around after smoke started coming from one of the engines. "The aircraft taxied to the gate under its own power and customers deplaned normally," American Airlines said in a statement. "We appreciate the professionalism of our crew and thank our team who are working to get our customers to their destinations as quickly as possible." American Airlines says their inspection found that there was "no evidence" that the engine caught on fire, according to CBS. The plane is reportedly an Airbus A321.

Following the Delta A330-323(N813NW) engine failure after departure from São Paulo (GRU), many are asking: what actually happens if an airliner loses an engine just after takeoff? As passenger in the cabin watching this scenario unfold, the panic is understandable. Seeing flames from an engine is alarming. But this is exactly the kind of scenario pilots are trained for repeatedly in simulators. Modern multi-engine aircraft are designed to fly safely on one engine. In fact, losing one engine is a certification requirement during testing. Here’s what happens: At liftoff, pilots target V2 speed—the minimum safe speed that guarantees the aircraft can continue climbing even with one engine inoperative. If an engine fails: • The MASTER FIRE warning light will illuminate in the cockpit and the fire warning bell will sound, alerting the pilots on the affected engine (they will close the fuel, hydraulic shutoff, and engine bleed air valves, and also discharge the related fire bottle to extinguish the engine fire). Of course, they will be careful NOT TO shut down the wrong engine (this has happened before). • Maximum thrust is applied on the remaining engine. • Rudder input keeps the aircraft straight (countering asymmetric thrust) • The aircraft climbs straight ahead for best performance (turns reduce climb rate unless required) Once above a safe altitude (typically ~1,500 ft / Minimum Flap Retraction Altitude(MFRA): • The aircraft accelerates • Flaps are retracted (“cleaning up”) • Crew assesses the situation and plans a return or diversion Even at very low altitude, the aircraft remains controllable by design. It may not climb aggressively, but it will climb. Bottom line: What looks catastrophic from the cabin is a scenario pilots are highly trained to handle—and aircraft are engineered to withstand. Hope this helps any nervous flyer. Flying is safe, and the chances of this happening have reduced due to lessons learned from previous incidents. And if you ever find yourself in this situation, trust that the pilots will act according to their training—because that’s their job.

#WATCH | Air India Plane Crash | Noida, UP: Former Pilot Ehsan Khalid says, "... The Flight Data Recorder, Cockpit Voice Recorder and the ACARS data will tell exactly what may have happened. The visuals show that the aircraft went down while flying. Which means there was no mid-air explosion... The visuals show that the aircraft faced a loss of power... The loss of power can be due to engine malfunction, but it is very unlikely that both engines would lose power simultaneously... It is a very big engine, and it is rare that both engines lose power due to a bird hit in a one-minute duration... The pilot gave a mayday call. This means that the failure was seen in the cockpit... They went airborne while combating that failure... I don't understand why the landing gear was still down... The landing gear is raised as soon as the flight takes off... Since the landing gear was down, it is possible that a loss of engine was detected beforehand... There are many variables, and any speculation would be unjust... The biggest question is why the landing gear was not up. The flight was at a height of 600 feet... Whether it was one problem or multiple problems, no one can say anything yet..."

🚨People watching this think it looks fake… It isn’t. That is a real F-22 Raptor performing an unrestricted climb. This maneuver is something only a handful of aircraft on Earth can do. When the pilot rotates and goes straight up like that, the aircraft is converting pure engine thrust into vertical climb. The reason it can do it comes down to the engines. The F-22 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 turbofan engines. Each engine produces about 35,000 pounds of thrust with afterburner. Combined thrust: About 70,000 pounds. Now compare that to the aircraft’s weight. Typical combat weight: ≈ 64,000 pounds That means the Raptor has a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than 1:1. In simple terms… The engines produce more thrust than the aircraft weighs. That allows the jet to accelerate vertically. And it gets even crazier. The engines use two-dimensional thrust-vectoring nozzles, allowing the exhaust to tilt up and down to maintain control even when airflow over the wings is minimal. Top speed ≈ Mach 2.25 (about 1,700 mph) Supercruise ≈ Mach 1.5 without afterburners Service ceiling ≈ 65,000 feet Only about 183 operational F-22s were ever built. Which means when you see a Raptor do this climb… You’re watching one of the most advanced air-dominance fighters ever created. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

The name on one of the crew might ring a bell... June 19 1947: Pan Am Flight 121, a Constellation, crash-lands in Mayadine (Syria). 14 of 36 aboard die. In flight, the #1 engine failed due to a mechanical issue. Attempting to divert to an alternate airport, the #2 engine also failed. The crew made a belly landing in the desert, where the aircraft caught fire. Among the survivors was a dead heading 3rd officer named Gene Roddenberry, who would go on to create the iconic science fiction television series “Star Trek”. This was Roddenbery´s 2nd major plane crash, having survived another major accident during his service in the Pacific Theatre, during WW2 Accident description from ASN (One of many period accidents where an engine failure led to a fatal crash. Nowadays, an engine fail is nearly routine and at worst it causes a diversion...) "The Constellation, named "Clipper Eclipse", was cruising at FL185 when the no. 1 prop had to be feathered due to engine problems. The remaining three engines overheated, forcing the crew to reduced power. This resulted in a gradual descent. The crew elected to continue to Istanbul instead of landing at the nearby Habbaniya RAF Station in Iraq. While descending through FL100 a fire broke out in the engine no. 2 nacelle. A rapid descent was started during which the no. 2 engine separated from the wing. With the left wing on fire a belly landing was carried out in the desert. It appeared the no. 1 engine failure was due to a broken exhaust rocker arm on the no.18 cylinder. The no. 2 engine failure was due to a failure of the thrust bearing which in turn resulted in blocking the passage of oil from the propeller feathering motor to the propeller dome. PROBABLE CAUSE: "The Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was a fire which resulted from an attempt to feather the No. 2 propeller after the failure of the No. 2 engine thrust bearing."

The impact triggered a brief engine fire, which was quickly extinguished by airport firefighters. Officials later confirmed the individual had been walking on the runway prior to the incident, though the reason remains unknown and is now under investigation. No injuries were reported among the 231 passengers onboard the aircraft. Frontier Airlines and federal investigators are now reviewing how the person was able to gain access to an active runway at one of the largest airports in the United States, raising serious questions about perimeter and airfield security procedures.

In the first stage report, the government is coming out with the facts of what happened inside the aircraft. The facts are there that the aircraft ran up to a speed that is required for takeoff, which is called the rotation speed. It lifted from the ground. It went up to the speed of 180 knots, which is a good acceleration speed. And possibly after that, technically, 2 or 3 things have happened. One is the deployment of RAT, which has happened, and the second is that the APU, auxiliary power unit, has started operations. This automatically happens in an aircraft when there is a twin-engine failure. So this, as indicated in the report, has happened, and both the initial stages of APU have started, and the RAT has deployed, so it indicates the engine failure has taken...

Not exactly a rocket on takeoff—the A340-300 has one of the lowest thrust-to-weight ratios among active airliners, powered by a unique variant (CFM56-5C4) of the same CFM56 engines found on A320s. A significant advantage of the A340 was that Airbus's common flight deck design allowed airlines primarily operating short-haul routes to integrate this aircraft type into their long-haul capacity with minimal additional pilot training. Was the program successful? Probably not. Airbus produced a total of 380 from 1991 to 2012.

⚡️🇷🇺🏭 Rostec's unique machine creates an aircraft engine part right at the Metalloobrabotka exhibition. The video shows one of the most technologically advanced domestic machines: the 2000VH five-axis milling machining center. It was created for the needs of the aircraft, engine and defense industries. During the Metalloobrabotka-2025 exhibition, the machine processes one of the most important elements of an aircraft engine - an impeller (blade machine). Such parts are used in aircraft engines. The diameter of this aluminum product is 70 cm, the height is about 30 cm, the weight is about 15 kg. The machine copes with the work perfectly - pay attention to the screen! The equipment was created by our holding company "STAN" . The machine is designed for large-sized parts of complex shape. It is capable of working with products up to 2 m in diameter and weighing up to 5 tons. At the same time, the accuracy achieved is up to hundredths of a millimeter. The model is built on a high-rigidity structure, its internal cavities are filled with synthetic granite. As a result, the vibration resistance of the equipment frame is comparable to heavy cast iron. The machine is equipped with a Russian numerical control system and a liquid cooling system. The use of direct drives allows achieving high dynamic stability and eliminating backlash in movement. Among the built-in functions are systems for measuring tools and parts, monitoring processes and industrial safety. 2000VH has no analogues in technical characteristics among domestic equipment and will replace imported models at Russian enterprises. rostecru

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress" A famous announcement by Captain Eric Moody on one of the most incredible aviation stories, which turns 44 years old today On June 24, 1982, British Airways Flight 9 (a Boeing 747-236B) suffered total engine failure after flying into an undetected volcanic ash cloud from Mount Galunggung, Indonesia. (as dramatized in the video from the Mayday ACI Series) Unaware of the cause due to night conditions and a lack of industry knowledge regarding volcanic ash risks, the crew initiated a glide toward Jakarta. After exiting the ash cloud, they successfully restarted all four engines. Although engine number 2 was later shut down due to vibration, the aircraft landed safely at Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport.

NEWS: United Airlines is spending a few millions dollars to run this 30-second Super Bowl commercial this Sunday to highlight SpaceX's Starlink. United Airlines: "In less than a year, United has equipped most of its two-cabin regional fleet – more than 300 aircraft – with Starlink, the fastest, most reliable high-speed Wi-Fi in the sky*. Over the last 10 months, the airline has flown more than 7 million passengers on Starlink-equipped aircraft across more than 129,000 flights, powering 3.7 million devices – and Wi-Fi customer satisfaction scores on those airplanes nearly doubled during that time. Today, more than 25% of United's daily departures – 1,200 flights – have Starlink Wi-Fi. The airline expects to equip more than 500 mainline aircraft with Starlink Wi-Fi by the end of 2026, bringing the total number of Starlink-equipped planes across its fleet to more than 800."
