No grab fin on engine
 
Hi, this is a little off topic
but does anyone know what the "no grab fin" on the engine is used for?

No, that would be "no grab Finn" -- which also would work in Ireland.:D

i presume it's used for redirecting airflow over the wing during takeoff? = better efficiency for the wing?

These types of objects are typically probes/sensors for things like temperature and pressure with the data being sent to the cockpit and other systems for collection and monitoring.

This is a little OT, so it ain't going to be in the Cathay Pacific forum!

Omni or Travelbuzz?

Thx

If it has to do with flying, I don't think it belongs in OMNI.

:D

...who should not be grabbed. He'll come down when he's ready.
