Those are just the intake stator vanes and the front bearing supports. The compressor is in that big aluminium housing that looks like a flywheel housing - this has a centrifugal flow compressor, much like a turbo charger. I don’t think that mesh is going to do much if the engine runs - it stands a good chance of collapsing and being ingested. That won’t go well…. Still, it might be made out of decent grade materials and tolerate the airflow. It might just be a FOD guard for when the engine isn’t in use, removed for running.

CwazyWabbit Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The hanging bracket on the back of the mesh is what really says desk fan guard to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 That's definitely a bit of desk fan..... it looks just like the one the other side of the office from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love a Smiley Transit though, many a happy mile spent at 55-60mph slowing down the artics 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of a guy I used to work with ........ When he did his National Service with the RAF in the early 1950s, they had F86 Sabre fighters on the airfield. They had a full frontal air intake, and if the engine was run up while on the ground, there had to be a cage installed over it, to prevent large FOD damage. One day, a passing ground crew member passed too close (about six feet, he said) just as the throttle was opened and he was dragged against it and held there, until one of the other guys waved at the mechanic to shut it down. he was terrified and passed out.

Snagger Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 There is footage online of a US Navy carrier deck crew member being sucked down the intake of an A6. He was able to wedge himself and the other crew and aircrew reacted quickly enough that he didn’t reach the engine. One airline I worked for had an engineer lose and arm to a JT8D engine on a 737-200. Nasty business. There is very good video of a recent accident in Chicago of an Air China 747 freighter taxiing way to fast on snow covered conditions and poor visibility sucking a couple of ULDs (cargo boxes) through an engine and hitting a load of other equipment. There was nothing left of the ULDs… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger110 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I do remember watching a program about RR engine's where they mimic something entering an engine on full chat, i believe it was part of the outer casing or it may have been a blade failure...certainly made a mess!

Just checked. £4,674 inc VAT but looks like no Injection pump, certainly no manifolds or ancillaries plus the biggest killer is the need for an exchange engine Hmmm, does anyone want to buy a project 200tdi 90?

western Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I would think as it includes fitting then its probably a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
