Ok… Jet Engines. Mobile, operated in highly variable environment, multiple stresses. Subject to foreign objects.
Power plant turbines.
They may operate in a similar fashion but they do not operate in similar environments. It is not an apples to apples comparison.
As another anon said, static equipment you can monitor with vibration equipment and often shut it down before catastrophic failure. But they still fail. Harder to do on an airline since the whole thing is moving.
Your comment that power plants dont fly apart is utter bullshit. They do, the difference is when they do, it doesnt put 200 people in a life and death situation. Plane crashes or lives at risk big news. People without power while backup equipment is brought online, not news.
Ive seen a turbo fan on an evaporator destroy a room when a fan blade sheared off. Same type of equipment. Did that make the news? Fuck no…
