emergency or run dry capability does not help if the rotor falls off.

the problem here as I see it is to find a system that
in case of severe MGB failure, does not shear the rotor of the AC.

the weakest point on the LN-OJF was that the failure led to rotor
shear-off. no matter what else is broken on the AC this should not happen
Could it be avoided with 7 susp bars? 10? Donīt know.

a run dry capability would only cover one failure mode.
What is needed here is a system robust enough to cover every failure mode
