Gas Turbine Jet engine Containment And Testing Evaluation

This is more geared for the testing aspect, but also should demonstrated why care and respect should be given to engines. It also shows the extents (risks, time and expense) manufactures take to try to make their end product safer.

Even a failure during testing and evaluation can be considered a success, if the net result is increased safety. (saves lives, saves $, saves engines and aircraft)

Explosive Containment (more or less)
It should be obvious why it is preferred to mount gas turbines engines on pods/pylons as a damage control to aircraft when practical.

Like my sarcastic joke; “static thrust” really isn’t.
