De flesta förståsigpåare hävdar att det troligtvis är en brand i IPP vilket skett tidigare och som yttrar sig i att man får stora flammor från IPP-avgasröret..
Hadde ingenting med IPP å gjøre denne gangen, men 3. steget i motoren.
The incident involved the third stage of the F135 engine built by Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp, for all three models of the new warplane, the sources said. "The engine ripped through the top of the plane," one said.
Details are still being finalized, but the inspections could take about 90 minutes, according to one of the sources, who was not authorized to speak publicly.
Early indications pointed to a possible quality problem with one part of the engine, but that finding must still be further corroborated, said one of the sources.
