Fan blade failures are supposed to be contained. Turbine disk failures are not. This leads to several characteristics: disks are life-limited parts where they must be removed after so many cycles, no fuel tanks are within the burst axis of disks, and the flight ceiling of airliners is dictated by the fact that you can get holes and the cabin can (at >1e-9/flight hour) rapidly depressurize. |
