mvsgas Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Any internal combustion engine that gets soil, rock or volcanic ash in the combustion chamber would receive damaged. The same would happen if you put soil or ash in a V8 Hemi combustion chamber or a F100-PW-220 etc. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

F-16 has flown in many desert campaigns, :huh: I imagine "glassy substance" is ash compress and heated in the engine To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

159th_Viper Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Any further info on the glassy substance? In all probability the Silica in the Volcanic Ash - melts and when cools essentially forms 'glass' - Credit to the Mrs for that (Geologist). Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

zakobi Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) Yeah, but i was interesting on how and where it got stuck, besides "in the engine and the fans" @ mvsgas, as you know, a piston engine requires much less air to it compared to a jet engine, therefor at was easier to install particle filters on them during the northern afrika battles.

So, by North Africa battles, do you refer to WW2 where there were no jet available (in north Africa at the time) AFAIK. or Egypt conflicts with Israel or when USN F-14 shut down Mig-23 And aircraft jet engine do not need air filters/particle filters, at least no jet engine I ever work. Helicopters one use filters.
