An A380 of Qantas flying from Singapore to Sydney had an engine failure 6 minutes into its flight from Singapore, whereby an explosion was heard. The aircraft returned to Singapore safely and all the passengers were removed from the aircraft. From initial pictures on sky news looks like a fire also occurred on the aircraft engine. All Qantas A380 have been withdrawn from Service for checks to be made. Bob  |

That will send alarm bells ringing at Rolls Royce.

It will soon be sorted. but I am wondering if it could be something injested into the engine on climb out looking at the end result of the engine failure and its remains.

Any further south and we'd have been blaming volcanic dust from the Merapi eruption!

...and today a Qantas 744 on QF6 to Sydney, has had to return to Singapore with a problem in it's no.1 engine.
Have Qantas got a maintenance problem, despite their CEO's comments yesterday, blaming RR for the A380 incident ?
Are they now going to ground all their 744s...I think not.

Guys - There's no 'U' in Qantas!
It's an acronym and it stands for Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services.
I expect to see it spelt with a U on Sky News, but not on this forum!

You naughty boy. You're not alone I did a few years back and got the same reaction. Wait until you you get Hangar wrong - we'll expect a 100. Now here's a coincidence, at least I hope it is. A Qantas 747 has had to land at the same airport almost 24 hours later with - you guessed it - an engine problem. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11702365 |
