Looking for pictures of motorglider failures

Tests have shown that the air flow through the cowling of an airplane is
much slower than the dispersion velocity of this product.Â* I don't have
data for the Stemme, but I'd imagine it's similar.

You can't close the vents in a Stemme while the engine is running
without incurring a bill in excess of $35-40 thousand dollars.

The Stemme has a fire warning system which alarms before these tubes
release their suppressant thereby allowing the pilot to close the fuel
valve and shut down the engine.

The cost of this system is less than that of an iPhone.

I doubt this system would work in a glider with an open engine bay.

That looks like a good solution for a closed space, but will it have a meaningful effect in an area with air forced through at high volume? Would you have a separate warning so you'd know to close the Stemme vents? Probably wouldn't work in an MG with an open engine bay (doors that don't close)?

No one has mentioned jets? They can be unreliable to get started, and
there's been uncontained blade failures. Even had the engine depart the

Interesting, I've heard of numerous failures to start and failure to climb,
but not uncontained blade failures or engine departing AC...

this is probably the same incident I remembered, but that version had
the farmer making two trips to deliver spare parts.

For those who haven't seen these consolidated incident summaries, GFA does an really excellent job. I always read the summaries in S&G, but hadn't seen these befo
