My understanding is that the engine-to-wing supporting structure is designed to release the engine when extreme forces are applied to prevent any structural damage to the wing that may impair the aircraft's ability to fly.

We might be talking about different aircraft incidents. I'm not aware of the Quantas incident you mentioned, it may or may not have involved a GE engine, but that make of engine was not fitted to the subject aircraft of this thread nor was it fitted to the 747 incident that I linked to. Both were Pratt & Whitney engine failures.

The Quantas were RR as per post. Yes, P&W (which I thought, mistakenly, were part of GE). We all live and learn!

Default Aircraft Engine Failure over Denver.

Willyheckaslike I think your thinking of fuse pins but I pretty sure these aren’t used anymore.

I work in the aircraft industry in a MRO repairing nacelles.

Fuses of many descriptions, be they mechanical or electrical, continue to be used in many applications for the protection of the greater good. I'm a poor Northern boy who knows nothing, nothing at all. But I do know the difference between the purpose of an engine nacelle and a ballistic blanket on a jet engine.

Best we agree to disagree Wullie ... as we do on another point in forum history.

I’m not disagreeing with you it was a response to your suggesting that engines will detach in the air if there is a problem from one of your posts.
I’ve had a quick google search and

Boeing used fuse pins but stopped after a few incidents caused crashes https://www.washingtonpost.com/archi...-dcbee4da3f2c/

Airbus never used them https://archive.seattletimes.com/arc...9&slug=1679083
