This is on my PVR. the week before it was a nuclear submarine and this week as some of the things Quinetic does for the MOD.

An excellent (too short) series from the BBC !

A really interesting programme (and series). The exploding fan blade test was something else - as was the maintenance bit. Someone, somewhere, knows all about YOUR engine.

The exploding fan blade test was good - but I was very disappointed they didn't show it in super slow motion - they almost certainly had footage of it, probably in thousand frames /second - now that would have been good.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about y) - why didn't they show similar footage in the BBC programme!

you'll probably find RR didn't want the world to see in detail how the engine responded to the exploding blade. Great show though
