So, What Drives What???

Perhaps this Pratt & Whitney video will answer the question of what drives what. Listen to the audio as the turbines and their roles are discussed.


I believe the failure of this engine, if it the same as the Qantas SFO engine failure, would be turbine blade failure related, not compressor blade related. The SFO engine failure was uncontained as well.
