Guess he’ll never be the head of a major airline.

Not a good time to lose one'a head.

 

[OPD77]

He used to be head and shoulders above the rest....he'll never be the spokesman for Head & Shoulders shampoo either.

 

[GarnetPild]

Shame he wasn't more...head...strong.

 

[Rva]

Like my flight instructor always said, tail Winds much better than head winds.

 

[weaponoffreedom]

guess his mother was wrong about his being hardheaded......................

I suppose that was on purpose? I mean really? A propeller?

 

[Edgehollow]

We had that happen to a local cop's wife a few weeks back. She was walking around the plane to change seats with their adopted daughter and got sucked into the prop. Cop's brother was the pilot, and he and the daughter witnessed it.

I can't imagine.

My first thought as well

Sucked into the prop?

 

[GarnetPild]

Sucked into the prop?

Yeah, they blow out the back & therefore suck from the front...sort of like this-

Oh I have seen that video.............but that is a jet turboprop.............not a conventional propeller or airscrew as it is known..............different ballgame.

@Edgehollow expalined that person got sucked into prop, which would be possible kind of, but it would likely not happen to get sucked into the prop...............perhaps there is more to the story.....

I don't see how it is much different. The propeller is sucking air in from the front, just like a jet does.

 

[weaponoffreedom]

The jet is ducted, and the turbo prop spins way faster, thus more thrust. Also, intake is confined to smaller space and creates much more vacuum. Jets are much more efficient and powerful. t Kind of like the difference between and box fan, and a snail type fan...........if you look at your AC condensing unit where the big fan is, you will see a shroud, same concept, or on a vehicle radiator fan, you will see a shroud ducting air through the radiator. The shroud or duct increases airspeed by concentrating it to a smaller specific area.........Conventional propellers (air screws) do not do this.

In order to be "sucked into a prop" you would have to be real close, and likely at close to full throttle.

To me the story does not make sense at face value. There is something missing or severe negligence

 

[Edgehollow]

She may have just ran around not thinking and ran into the prop. Sucked may have been the wrong choice of words. She hit the prop and @died.

 

[BurntJ]

His fuckin head exploded!

Awesome.

Oh I get it, could have very well been honest mistake, sucks big time.

understood, just trying to make sense of the story. suck the big onef for sure

That is all true, but there is still suction, and some idiot getting out to switch seats would be pretty close to the prop. Seems easy enough to be a few feet in front of it & that to happen. It did happen, so obviously so.

ok

 

[shiv]

I wonder if a turbojet would still be faster on a stationary aircraft. Turbojets definitely have more high end power, but they get going much faster when the aircraft is in the air

He gave mind-blowing head

The key is being ducted...............also there is the number of blades as a turbofan has much more than a prop job.............................same fan speed and size drawing from a smaller area=more vacuum. But what the fuck do I know. Ask @GarnetPild as he is the expert of vacuum.

Lol, just saying there is obviously air being sucked into propellers. I guess once in awhile a dumbass walks in front of one too close, and gets killed. Not sure why it upsets you for me to point that out.

someone really should've given him a heads up!
