What Really Happens When an Airplane Engine Swallows Water？

In this video, we explain what really happens when an airplane engine ingests water. A situation that might seem alarming, but is more nuanced than you might imagine.

What happens when an airplane flies through heavy rain?
Can water affect the engine's performance?
Because, it turns out, it doesn't always mean an immediate problem. There's more to it than that.

And to understand it, we need to explore how jet engines work… what happens when water enters the airflow… and why these systems are designed for extreme conditions.

So let's start with the essentials:
What really happens inside the engine when water gets in?

Well… it's not as dramatic as it seems.

But once you find out, you begin to better understand how these engines are designed.
