A second superjumbo likely will resume operations by tomorrow, while work continues on the third, spokesman Nicholas Ionides said in an e-mail today. The airline pulled the planes out of service to swap one Rolls-Royce Group Plc engine each after the discovery of oil stains.
Rolls-Royce should survive any design faults found in its superjumbo engines
PASSENGERS on Qantas flight QF32 on November 4th will have breathed a sigh of relief when their Airbus A380 touched down after suffering a potentially devastating engine failure shortly after take-off from Singapore. As accidents go, this one ended well, with the pilots making a safe if slightly fast landing.
Big jets are designed to survive the failure of one engine, even during take-off, when the risk of a crash is greatest. In some cases engines have even fallen off with no ill effect. What made this incident less usual, and more dangerous, was that bits of the engine exploded outward, damaging the wing and, according to some sources, parts of the control system, on the A380 superjumbo, the biggest passenger jet in the world. That it landed safely was probably due to a combination of good design, in that the A380 has two separate control systems and can survive the loss of one, and good luck, in that the engine fragments did not hit more crucial parts of the plane. …
One engine will be changed on each of the planes, which will arrive in Singapore today, Chief Executive Officer Chew Choon Seng told reporters in the city-state. The move is a precautionary measure after “slight” oil staining was found in areas of the Trent 900 engines, he said.
Chief Executive Chew Choon Seng told a media and analysts conference that the aircraft should arrive in the city-state on Wednesday evening and there were enough replacement engine available to carry out the swap.

Blekko launched Nov. 1, promising a new, curated form of search customized by its users, with an assist from the type of machine-generated algorithm search giants Google, Yahoo and Microsoft Bing employ. Blekko users create slashtags, which help them search only the sites users want. This cuts out the spam of irrelevant information and links associated with the classic search engines. Blekko users create their own slashtags, allowing them to set up directories of information in a few vertical areas so that they can come back to them later and let other people see them. Once the slashtags are set up with relevant keywords and populated with target Websites, users can search only the favorite Websites they desire. Blekko has targeted specific verticals for the initial launch, including health, recipes, song lyrics, hotels, automobiles, colleges and personal finance. Expect more to come as the service picks up momentum. That will be quite a challenge versus Google and Bing, but we’re game to give it a shot. – …
