Engines

Today's commercial aircraft are powered by either turboprop or turbofan engines. Engine certification standards require that the engines be put through rigorous testing to ensure they are able to withstand such occurrences as water and ice ingestion, extreme heat and cold and containment in the event of the loss of a fan blade, to name a few.
