why are you talking about Ingestion of FOD again ? A380's are a Code F aircraft and can operate from 60 wide runways. They can operate from 45m width runways under a certain AACG varaince given by the countries aviation authority but only if the shoulders are 75m wide.
Singapore has 60m wide runways which gives the A380 plenty of room so as not to pick up dirt etc from the grass edge. The outboard is at 25m.
SEcondly if it had picked up FOD it would have been realised by the flight crew a lot sooner and I have not seen any pics of fan blade damage which would have supported this theory and they sure would have been published by Now.
Why do people always think its a birdstrike or FOD .
