Summary

Description
English: On February 13, 2018, about 1200 Hawaiian standard time (HST),1 a Boeing 777-222 airplane, N773UA, operated by United Airlines as flight 1175, experienced an in-flight separation of a fan blade as well as the inlet duct and fan cowls of the No. 2 (right) engine, a Pratt & Whitney (P&W) PW4077, during cruise flight enroute to the Daniel K. Inoyue International Airport (HNL), Honolulu, Hawaii.... The examination of the No. 2 engine at HNL by members of the Powerplants Group revealed one fan blade was fractured transversely across the airfoil just above the blade fairings.... The blade’s fracture surface was flat with elliptical-shaped marks across the internal ribs and along the convex surface of the airfoil. There was a discolored area on the aft convex side corner of rib No. 4. There appeared to be a ratchet mark within the discolored area.
