The Dart engine does not sound so wonderful when it lets go during take-off due to an uncontained failure! when a disc disintegrates and exits the cowling taking with it the fire protection system and the ancilliaries. It certainly gets your attention. Thankfully it was a rare occurance on the Dart, it only happened to me once in six years on the Budgie, but history shows that it has happened a few times throughout the world. No I am not a lover of Darts.
