美国国家运输安全委员会(NTSB)发布的初步调查报告显示,一架由 NetJets 公司运营的商务喷气式飞机在 6 月于德克萨斯州拉雷多附近的高速公路上发生坠毁事故时,两台发动机均在撞击前发生了熄火 [1]。调查指出,事故的直接原因是右侧发动机的启动发电机外壳缺失一颗螺丝,该缺陷引发了异常振动并导致连锁故障,最终造成动力丧失 [1]。此次空难共造成一人死亡、六人受伤 [1]。
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released a preliminary investigation report stating that both engines of a business jet operated by NetJets failed and "flamed out" prior to the crash in June near Laredo, Texas [1]. The initial inquiry attributes the root cause of this failure to abnormal vibrations triggered by a missing screw on the outer shell of the right engine's starter generator, which led to a cascade of faults resulting in total loss of power [1]. The accident resulted in one fatality and six injuries; the deceased individual was identified as Joshua Baer [1].
