Rolls Royce

Yesterday I said Qantas engine failure was due to outsourcing maintenance. Today it looks like it was a design failure. So it was actually outsourcing design and engineering (which Rolls Royce has done plenty of).

We can all see the results.

This is the second uncontained failure of a Rolls Royce engine. You may remember the Rolls Royce Dreamliner engine blew up in a test.

Engines should never blow up. Rolls Royce's outsourced engineers are making a habit of it happening. That is not good.
