Comment on Qantas Airbus A380 engine failure in 2010 (2023)parent

Maybe not stop it, but perhaps they can design it so that if it happens it's more likely to be directed away from the fuselage? Like with armor that does not block or absorb but deflect, which requires less energy. Perhaps even a small reactive armor strip? (dangerous as though that would be on a plane).

But then again I'm sure aviation engineers would have thought of this and rejected it for good reason.
