Default Unusual engine

I was always told that the engine on a prop plane would probably get
ripped out of the mounts if a prop lost a blade so I don't think it is
good on any engine!


I think it's clear that it does happen, but it is also true that many
engines lose prop blades, and the engine stays with the airplane. I'll bet
many more stay, than depart.
