The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has published a report into a serious incident which, according to Airline Economics+ data, involved a Delta 767 aircraft on February 10, 2023. During take-off from Edinburgh Airport bound for New York, a high-pressure turbine blade fractured in the right engine of the aircraft. This blade damaged a further five blades, but the engine was still capable of producing thrust. The out of balance turbine caused vibrations sufficient to cause a slat track housing drain tube to fracture in the wing which allowed fuel to escape from the right wing fuel tank. Credit :
