During October and November 2000 the Naval Air Warfare Center, China Lake conducted a series of simulated uncontained engine failure structural impact tests. A large 12-inch gas gun was used to launch turbojet engine fan blade segments into a narrow-body commercial aircraft fuselage. The impacts were documented and analyzed with high-speed photography. Impact velocities, presented areas, and residual velocities were calculated. These data were then compared to analytic results predicted by the Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME) penetration equations. The results are presented in this report.
