The present invention relates to a gas turbine engine fan blade containment system including a shield (318) to be coupled to an aircraft structure (302) and to at least partially surround a circumference of an aircraft engine (100). The shield (318) is to be spaced from an outer surface (102) of the aircraft engine (100) when coupled to the aircraft structure (302). The shield (318) forms a laminated clevis (606) at an end (326) of the shield (318). A retention rod (608) is positioned in the laminated clevis (606) of the shield (318). The retention rod (608) is to engage a lug hook (602) of the aircraft structure (302) to anchor the shield (318) to the aircraft structure (302). The present containment system may be integrated with the airframe completely external to the engine, enabling aircraft manufacturers to select optimal engines independently of the presence of internal fan blade containment.
