While i have seen an (alleged) cross-section of the T900, I cannot seem to locate it just now. Maybe someone can post a link so I can point out the pertinent features.

But the essential point I'm making is that the uncoupled disc assembly will establish a false bearing INBOARD of the IPT airfoils, so they will remain in place as the disc assembly is driven overspeed.
