Technology

Which mechanical failure sharply reduces energy absorption during aircraft engine overspeed?

A)Turbine blade containment ring rupture
B)Compressor stall induces flow reversal
C)Fuel pump cavitation blocks flow
D)Igniter plug fouling ends combustion

💡 Explanation

Turbine blade containment depends on hoop stress provided by the containment ring; therefore, a rupture leads to uncontained blade failure which drastically reduces energy absorption, because the rapidly released kinetic energy isn't dissipated by controlled deformation anymore, rather than being contained.
