A fan blade containment system is arranged to surround a fan including a plurality of fan blades in a gas turbine engine for an aircraft. The fan blade containment system includes a fan case arranged to surround the fan; a debris retainer, such as a front hook, mounted on the fan case and arranged to prevent forward debris release should all or part of a fan blade become detached from the fan; and a front panel mounted on the fan case adjacent to and rearward of the front hook, and arranged to move or break when struck by a detached fan blade or fan blade part so as to allow the detached fan blade or fan blade part to engage the front hook.
