BA38s engines "Hesitated"

Dear barit1 and other PPruNers,

Thanks for your comments, since I am danish, you will have to excuse some of my word selections, but we seems to agree, that ice is the only "aerodynamic redesign" that melts away.

When I had my experiences with the MD-80 engines, it was on the ground, trying to get T/O power, after some taxiing in foggy weather. And that was my only experience of that kind in a 27 month period.

This was 19 years ago, maybe newer engines are better in trying to protect themselves from stalls, vibrations and ice damage?

Maybe the BA38 engines just never made it to the stall and vibration phase?

Oluf
