← TechnologyWhich 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.
