Today, on Friday the 13th 2020, a spectacular un-contained engine failure struck a mighty Antonov AN 124 on departure from runway 25 in Novosibirsk, Russia.
From initial reports it seems like the engine disintegrated and caused a lot of damage to the body, left wing as well as the electrical system of the aircraft. The 14 person crew managed to get the aircraft in for a safe landing but without working brakes, spoilers or thrust reversers, the aircraft exited the runway and came to a stop about 200m after the runway end.

And nerves / training. I mean, being able to do this is one thing. Being able to do this in this kind of situation while flying a 100+t, seriously crippled bird is something else, that´s not even the same sport. At a certain stress level, your forebrain tends to get a 'buffers overflow' and just shut down, severly impairing the ability to perfom cognitive, mental tasks that would be no problem in everyday life. Remember how you are not able to remember or calculate anything when you get a 'blackout' during an oral exam. Imho, you need an enormous amount of both training as well as an enormous pair of solid steel to stay calm and level enough in this kind of situation to even do this calculation in the first place, let alone remember the performance data accurately. As a biologist, I am really, really awestruck by this crew.

One minor inaccuracy in the comment about uncontained engine failure: It's NOT the cowling that is supposed to contain the broken engine parts from flying away. It's the engine casing and fan casing that has to prevent blades to escape on a tangential trajectory.. The core engine case and the fan case are parts of the engine itself - part of the engine structure. The engine cowling on the other hand is just a lightweight aerodynamic outer fairing around the engine to reduce drag, both, in normal cruise and also in the case of an engine shut-down, so that the air can flow smothly around the engine cowling. The cowling is never designed to contain parts that escaped through the engine case and fan case.

All of the Antonov crew are OUTSTANDING airmen. Their videos on KZfaq showcase that very well. This also shows how very well built the Antonovs are. Not too much of computers to be found there, and still flyable as this proved. Besides, the crew of six on the flight deck (extra engineer, navigator and radio operator) instead of a lot of computers and a "fly by (electrical) wire" technology saved them. A "fly by wire" plane would likely have been doomed. Getting this big baby down without ground proximity readout, figuring the airspeed and glideslope only from visual clues, that's true airmanship. Anyway, I'm happy they didn't lose a single soul of this excellent team of airmen.

Probably saved by being based on a load bearing upper spine. Since the lower bay is anyway meant to be opened in mid flight for cargo drop. Thus the whole lower fuselage is not loads bearing. It just hangs from the upper spine. Thus unless the integrity of the upper spine is compromised, one can put pretty many holes in the lower hull. Useful feature in a military cargo drop plane. Incase some flak comes hurtling in to the lower fuselage from below.

Shrapnel from the uncontained explosion damaged multiple systems. The captain later said that the left hand side of the aircraft was "electrically dead". So much so that, once they landed, they couldn't even shut down the Number one engine or shut off it's fuel supply. They had to litterally kill it by flooding it with foam. Good video.

It was probably a disc failure. Gas turbines are designed to contain blade failures but broken disc segments have too much mass and energy to be contained. If there was any bad luck, it was the fact that the debris exited towards the fuselage. Disc failures can typically be caused by cyclic fatigue, manufacturing defects, incorrect blending during repairs and cooling issues.

Thanks for pointing out the skill (and luck) of the crew to be able to do so well under these conditions. I immediately thought of the cockpit videos I’ve watched as the crew plans their response to a rejected take-off or an engine failure at a critical moment. All of the collective hours these pilots have invested in this analysis, possibly hundreds of times, certainly paid dividends in this situation. As I’ve heard you and others repeatedly stress that there are some factors entirely out of the hands of the crew (they were not present when this fan disc was made or inspected) but by consistently preparing and following checklists religiously, they were able to survive as well as probably preserve the craft. I’m an admirer of this level of professionalism.

Even though the flying shrapnel cut all the electrical systems, it’s a good thing that it didn’t entirely take down control systems. I’m not familiar enough with the Antonov to know if their hydraulic systems have cable backups, but landing such a behemoth under those circumstances is incredible regardless.

Hi guys. 50 plus years in industry aircrew/training/engineering/management - 14 years in Russia including cutting edge airline training advisory/course design. Also flew 2-crew with Russian exmilitary. Met many aircrew & worked in variety of educational situations: like the TU154 in Siberia, Russian aircrew training and mind set are "something else" - in the most positive sense. (Note this does not include aircarriers of regions which have caused continuing accidents for decades). So...as someone stated #1: fly the aeroplane - love the captain's apparent statement about not have overabundance of thrust: many of this size Russian equipment - like IL96 DO NOT have an abundance of power - witness the deck angle on rotation to initial climb of IL96 Vs "anything Western"....very flat attitude.

@fredericrike5974 3 жыл бұрын

I think one of the survival factors not being mentioned is that the Antonov manufacturer built aircraft for a highly military support reason. As a result, their planes are very tough-very like out C 130s- they are designed to land on grass or sand runways, have large redundancies, and the aircrews are at, the least, military reservists. This was a combination designed with survival in mind. Even the An225, the An124s big brother, has this same philosophy baked in. All that said, the pilot and aircrew did a world class job of putting her back on the ground and having everyone walk away. Hats off!

Sorry Mr. Pilot that's not quit right. Although engines are designed to contain engine failures their only designed to contain blades not discs. From what debris you show and the damage to the aircraft I feel very confident what we have here is a fan disc /hub failure. Not containable. Ifd engines were designed to contain high energy discs the aircraft would never get off the ground. Jim Jenni

I note "total loss of elecrical power" and aircraft still flyable (wait, is there a RAT on the An124 ? and would a western plane deploy RAT under those circumstances ? That's what I like about older designs in general : the beast is tough, and you're not entirely screwed if something goes horribily wrong, just like cars, you have that electronics dead and you're stuck until you change the parts, older technology can be fixed with some sweat and few basic tools)

@@sirius4k I mean it, these guys really are a breed apart. At Farnborough alone, (used to work there) a Mig 29 got lost, and displayed over the crowd side over the airfield, landed downwind, and sat on the runway for approx 20 mins arguing with the bloke in the tower over whether he should turn left or right to vacate. A Tu-204 over ran the runway by some 100 meters and promptly sank in the mud, an Su-34 also over ran the runway, and got out leaving the plane for someone else to deal with, an An-22 landed diagonally across the runway smashing some of the runway lights in the process. They all had one more thing in common, the pilots just shrugged it off and simply didn't care. The mind boggles. There was one incident that had a different outcome, the chap displaying his An-72 had his mount inverted, and was forced to land instantly, and was grounded for the rest of the week.
