Why are jet engines fitted outside the wings and not embedded inside? In what way are they actually attached and what could cause them to detach from the wings?
In todays episode I will be discussing all of these questions and a few more. We will be talking about shear-pins, bolts and thrust links. I will also present two case-studies at the end where the system didn't work as it was supposed to.

    I loved the discussion about how the engines are designed to detach in a ground collision while maintaining as much structural integrity as possible. These steps all help to make an accident more survivable and the industry is right to pride itself on its record. One should never forget the terrible price paid by those that lost their lives in previous accidents, leading to the improvements and better safety we now enjoy. The industry must never ease up on its rigorous controls and we, the travelling public, should always pay attention to all advice and instructions from the cockpit and cabin crew.

    I saw one of these engines being tested at GE. It hung with two bolts on the engine and one (1) on the gantry (wing surrogate). I said what is the fitting on the plane. The engineer said "that's it." I said I would have expected more. He smiled and said "If your taking off and your engine hits a tree what would you rather rip off, your engine or your wings!!!" Good point.

    Back in the late 80's, an AA 727 flying to San Diego experienced an engine problem. The aircraft was over the Southwestern desert and the crew felt a thump, then got an indicator that the starboard engine had failed. They shut off the engine, started an early decent and simply flew the rest of the way to San Diego on the two remaining engines. When the plane landed in San Diego (without incident), it took the tower controllers to tell the astonished crew that they were missing an engine. It had apparently seized up and simply snapped off...exactly what it was supposed to do. They found the engine in the desert a couple of days later. There was a front-page photo in the local paper the next day of the plane sitting in the PSA hangar missing an engine. Good design worked that time!

    To add a little to what @Mentour Pilot said. Since the two disasters he detailed, engine mounts are designed so that the front mount shears off first, and the aft shear pins break away last. This prevents the engine from coming over the wing and causing other structural damage to the aircraft such as damaged electrical or hydraulic lines.

  • @barefootalien

    One other reason for the nacelles (pods) to be mounted so far forward of the wings rather than inside them is for aerodynamics. While the Comet _looked_ quite sleek, a modern airliner is actually quite a lot more aerodynamically efficient, and the placement of the engines is a big part of that. Why? Wave drag. Specifically trans-sonic wave drag. Even today in the age of efficiency over speed, airliners go fast enough that airflow over certain parts of them nears supersonic speeds. Without going into _too_ much detail (watch me now go into way too much detail, lol), right around Mach 1 (around 0.8 to 1.2 or so) is the most drag an aircraft will ever see. You have the normal drag, which is a combination of friction from the boundary layer between the airframe's skin and the air flowing over it, along with pressure drag caused by compression at the leading edges and evacuation at trailing edges, and induced drag caused as a consequence of extracting lift. At subsonic speeds less than Mach 0.8, these types of drag totally dominate the drag the aircraft experiences. At supersonic speeds, this changes. Sonic shockwaves form boundary layers of air that 'sticks' to the skin of the plane, taking up much of the skin drag. Those shockwaves also take on more and more aerodynamically ideal shapes, reducing pressure drag. And, the faster the plane goes, the less angle of attack is needed for level flight, and so the less induced drag there is. Instead, the formation of those shockwaves becomes the primary source of drag, as the supersonic flow (relative to the airframe) around the plane has to very rapidly accelerate to match speeds with the subsonic boundary layer of air "stuck" to the plane's skin. It does this at faster than the speed of sound, which is normally the speed any pressure wave moves in a fluid. In physics terms, what happens then is that the pressure in the trough of the shockwave just behind the wavefront becomes a vacuum, which takes enormous amounts of energy; energy that has to come from somewhere, and in fact comes out of the plane's kinetic energy. Just as an aside, at hypersonic speeds, more of the energy starts to go into thermal effects and phase change of the air from a gas to a plasma, and becomes the dominant form of drag at those speeds (which is what defines the difference between supersonic and hypersonic). In any case, short of hypersonic speeds (at which drag can theoretically tend toward infinity), the most drag a vehicle will ever experience is in the _transsonic_ regime, when both wave drag and traditional drag are in full effect simultaneously. This fact, combined with a lack of understanding of how to modify control surfaces for supersonic flight created what was known as the "sound barrier" in the early 20th century. Traditional streamlining, like what you see in the de Havilland Comet helps reduce traditional drag. To reduce _wave drag_ on the other hand, you use what's called the Area Rule. The minimum wave drag for a given overall flight volume is caused by the smoothest possible rate of change of the cross-sectional area of the airframe in the direction of travel. A big increase in cross-sectional area in a short distance along the length of the plane creates tons of wave drag, because it forms new shock fronts. In a traditional-configuration airplane, the biggest sudden increases in area (aside from at the nose) happen at the start of the wings, and the start of the engines. So for efficient flight in the trans-sonic or high-subsonic regime, you _do not want_ engines and wings to both start at the same point along the length of the airframe; that actually maximizes wave drag and greatly decreases fuel efficiency. Modern airliners are "waisted" subtly but (if you know what you're looking for) noticeably right around where the wings start to take shape, to reduce the rate of change of cross-sectional area. Having the engine nacelles well out in front of the leading edges of the wings helps further reduce the suddenness of that transition. The "hump" of the Boeing 747 where the upper deck is is also, in fact, entirely about reducing wave drag. The 747 has that hump for aerodynamic efficiency, and they got to put a second deck there, rather than the other way around like you might assume. It was a somewhat crude but _very_ effective design from an era in which the kind of waisting of the main fuselage we use today wasn't as feasible for structural integrity reasons. That hump, and the nacelles well forward of the leading edges, both revolutionary at the time, made the 747 the most efficient heavy aircraft for _decades._ As a neat little bit of trivia, wave drag is important for ships as well. The big, bulbous nose that extends out under the water in front of the bow of big ships designed for fuel efficiency (bulk freighters, tankers, cruise ships) actually deliberately induces waves that interfere destructively with the waves produced by the motion of the main hull through the water, greatly reducing the wake, the energy that goes into it, and the drag induced by it.

    Structural engineer here, I love the topic of this video. The tensile strength of 180 MPa is actually quite low for bolts, typical yield strength for steel bolts is 600-800 MPa. I am both amused and bothered by one specific incident related to the engine connection to the wing, that is the Hudson river landing. The amount of drag the engines produced must have been very high, I think one of the engines came off. Will increasing engine size on modern planes give less margin on keeping the plane level during accidental landings?

    Yeah, his assumption of real world load was very optimistic (only 100kN in each direction (141kN combined)) and even then he was already at 1/5 of his assumed yield strength. Which would be very bad for metal fatigue (also considering that there is probably lots of vibrations and direction changes, it’s not just one nice, permanent static force). Your numbers make much more sense.

    I was towing gliders the day after AA191 for an AA co-pilot who had invited his captain along to our small airport. I remember all of us pilots gathered around the desk looking at a grainy newspaper picture of AA191 on it's back. We were looking at the control surfaces and we could see the elevator pushed forward trying to unload but most important the rudder full right. We could see that the pilot knew he was spinning, more accurately snap rolling. To the end, their fellow AA pilot was flying the aircraft with proper control inputs to correct for a stalling left wing. What he didn't know was that no control inputs could overcome the loss of high lift leading edge slats resulting from the hydraulic failure. It was a sobering moment for all of us.

    I worked on rotating machinery in the petrochemical industry for 40 years. Large part of my activity was RCA (root cause analysis). One of the steps in an investigation was metallurgical investigation. The results of the metallurgical investigation would determine among other details whether the material of the damaged part was correctly selected, and had been correctly heat treated for its purpose (had correct hardness, tensile strength, etc.). Most important would be the determination of the fracture cause. Fatigue fractures do seldom occur suddenly, and have very characteristic surface appearance. The designers of the component that failed (your second case) have certainly been thoroughly calculated by the designers and dimensioned for fatigue safety. There must have been another reason (the root cause) why the component was exposed to additional forces or exposed to additional vibration which made it to fatigue faster than expected.

Not every engineering detail, the pilot would not be tested on specific alloy like "Iconel 718", but the pilot would be tested on the general electrical, hydraulic, and fuel systems design and operation. ie a 737-400 pilot would need to know that hydraulic system A is powered by two pumps one mechanical on engine#1 and the other electrical and powered from engine#2 alternator, and exactly which items are attached to hydraulic system A. They would also need to know the electrical layout(and power capacity) so faults can be isolated or power transferred from one subsystem to another in an emergency.

    Great presentation Peter. Thank you! On AA#191, I think it is important to discuss the improper de-mounting/mounting procedure the mechanics were using for the DC-10 engine, which was using a fork lift. I believe there was discussion that some vertical movement weakened fasteners leading to the catastrophic loss of AA#191. Other issues were the pilots did not get a stick-shaker nor stall warning due to losses in the electrical systems (generator) that the F/E had not been able to restore buses on. The pilots also received no slat-disagreement warning lights/gauge indicator, which also misled them, as they did not know they had an asymmetric slat/stall trend developing. The DC-10--Murphy's Law's favorite airplane: What can go wrong, will. The pilots of that ill fated flight did everything by the book, and in simulator presentations using the AA#191 profile, with pilots that did not know what caused #191 to lose control, I believe the great majority of those pilots in the SIM also lost control. As you said, one wing stalled, at a premature speed due to an uncommanded and unexpected leading edge devices (slats) retraction due to loss of hydraulic fluid/pressure.

    It is easy to forget that for the first twenty-some years of jet airliners, cargo aircraft, and bombers, only the Americans placed engines on pylons on the wing. They're harder to design than is apparent. An aeronautical engineer once told me that pylon design was actually considered a secret for a while.

    Back in A&P school c. 70's, they told us another reason for the forward slung under wing mountings was for additional wing 'flutter' mitigation. They also said some mounts were engineered to fail & let the engine fall free if subjected to excessive torque loads; as if an engines rotating element/s were to suddenly become 'locked up'... they said it would be preferable over possibly having catastrophic wing damage. Cool videos, Thanks!

    Flutter control would be extremely specific to each plane design. Engine placement would certainly have an effect but I feel that instructor was maybe over-extrapolating his information about one plane to all others.

    That was an excellent video. My question is - when a plane takes off and its wheels retract, is a brake applied to the wheels or are they left spinning? What are brakes made from, and how are they used during taxiing. More about taxiing - what are the procedures for applying thrust while taxiing, e.g., to advance the aircraft in a line to take off, to start from a stationary position, or when moving at a constant speed?

    Thank you for another video! I was a bit worried there when you said the engines weren't attached as firmly as the rest of the components; but it seems like they are fitted to deal with great forces. I find it interesting that the engines are also expected to shear off if they hit the ground to give the aircraft and passengers the best chance of survival. Are the bolts and shear pins now a part of regular maintenance checks between flights? How many bolts hold each wing on? how regularly are they checked?

    When I was young ( in the 60s ) my next door neighbor would point out jets and planes flying overhead. One, which seemed to be his favorite was the "Whisper Jet". It had a small "wing" on top of it's tail . I was wondering if you could talk about that, like if it move or controlled something or if in fact it was called a whisper jet. P.S. I love your channel.

    I am a Dutchman, and I remember the El Al-cargoplane crashing into the apartmentbuilding in Amsterdam vividly. I was a student back then (1992) and I was visiting my parents on a Sundaynight when suddenly breaking news came about the crashing plane. I never heard the official results from the investigation, but I do know that our parliament conducted a legal inquiry that led a maintenance-engineer to plead the fifth, because he was made a bit of a scapegoat. So this is the first time since I hear what the issue was. Thank you!
