Not an Aircraft Engineer but...

Do we not get turbine blade failure on other engines/fleets and would the whole fleet be grounded then? Notwithstanding of course the recent introduction of the F35 and the obvious lack of history when compared to say the Tonka fleet.

Also comparing fleets what would the number of blades/engine be between say the F35 vs Tonka fleets.
