https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....0577e1fd72.jpg " An Ethiopian Airlines de Havilland Dash 8-400, so far unknown flight, went off runway 13 while departing Juba. No injuries are being reported, the aircraft sustained substantial damage however." |
A piece of a propeller blade penetrated the fuselage. Perhaps the blade let go on the takeoff roll, and during the abort the aircraft was allowed to drift off the runway. Or the aircraft drifted off the runway, the propeller struck the ground when the landing gear collapsed, and a fragment of the propeller broke and penetrated the fuselage. I’m sure the proper authorities will issue a preliminary report soon. https://avherald.com/h?article=4d068d9d&opt=0 |
Not the first time that a Q400 prop blade had entered the cabin following ground strike.
Never sit in line with the props! |

Guess no aircraft built out there can withstand a prop detatching and flying towards the cabin?

Seatguru should add this to their evaluation of seats on the Dash-8. In fact,maybe they have, row 11 presumably has no window as it's in the line of fire should a blade let go?

78 seats, rows 1 to 21 with no row 13 and only 2 seats in row 1. I see other configs number rows differently. I saw a Viscount crash at Hurn in 1972, stalled in the flare, and pieces of blade were in the seats. Only two pilots on board and no one hurt. Sorry for thread drift. Always sit as far back as possible. Never heard of an aircraft reversing into a mountain. (That's why the flight recorders are at the back and the pilots at the front). |
In this old case - pax next to the propeller on the affected side were removed before the emergency landing. See page 36 & 37

I'm certain that the old F27-100 of NZNAC had a double skin on the fuselage in line with the props, at least when I was doing loadsheets for them.
Was that more for ice protection than errant propeller blades? |
