Salute!

Teah, TD , lottsa stuff will bypass the engine core/hp compressor disks.

We had a massive seagull encounter years ago at Myrtle Beach, and the TF-41 fan sent a bunch thru the bypass duct and maybe half a dozen got stuck around the turbine exhaust nozzle and burned to a crisp, heh heh. Fan blades were in bad shape but good enuf for the pilot to get the Sluf back on the ground.
