Flights to resume after Emirates flight catches fire at Dubai airport | The National
NOTE- scroll down a ways to the description that starts
Boeing’s 777 model is the largest twin-engine airliner in production and the most used wide-body. Emirates is the largest operator of the plane. The aircraft is also one of the safest jets in the world, with only a handful of them having suffered irreparable damage since the model’s introduction, according to Aviation Safety Network.
and look at the video below.
one can clearly see the engine above the wing. I'm sure it puzzles many as to how it got there.
Consider the following.
!) BA design for decades ( and probably Airbus ) has been to protect the front spar in the event of a failure of engine mounting.
2)Linkages and ' fuse' pins are located such that in case of mounting failure ( in flight ) , the thrust of the engine will pivot it up and over the major wing structure before total detachment IF still generating thrust.
SO IMHO- the engine at the time of impact was at a high ( max? ) thrust level such that the impact failed at least part of the pivot linkage, allowing the engine to pivot up and over the front spar, thus one sees the engine above the wing facing aft but still partially attached to the wing.
