French volunteer search teams have found fragments from an engine that exploded ...
A volunteer uses a compass during a scour of an uninhabited wood at the call of the France's BEA aviation safety agency to find pieces of the engine of a Swiss Air Lines Airbus A220 which fell from the aircraft mid-flight, in Perrigny-sur-Armancon, France, November 6, 2019. REUTERS/Benoit Tessier
A third engine suffered a similar blowout last month, forcing it to divert to Paris where it scattered some parts during landing, according to French officials. They have heightened scrutiny of a new generation of fuel-saving engines built by U.S. manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies, after a series of reliability problems. But a version of the engines used on Airbus’s larger and more widely used A320 series is not affected by the checks.
