The wrong diffuser case for a 757 in Pentagon photo?
Edited on Sat Feb-05-05 07:15 PM by demodewd
Is Schwatz's analysis correct? Someone with more expertise in this area help me out here.

This following part is also not a 757 component; it is a component from the types of "dual chamber" turbojets represented by the Allison J33, J71, Pratt & Whitney J57 and JT8D.


They are called in the jet industry a "diffuser case" and the UPN content numbers on this particular item have been blocked and otherwise scrubbed on the Internet.However, the following is the diffuser case design for the 757 jet engines and it is quite different from that shown at the Pentagon. That is due to the difference between "dual-chamber turbojet" versus the newer "high bypass jet fan" designs found on the 757 and 767 jet airplanes.


Note the triangular bezels around the openings and then note that the Pentagon diffuser case has no such openings or reinforcing points. The diffuser is built into a much larger component and not a separate component in the newer 757 type jet engines. This is a very large component within the 757 type of jet engine and there are two of them on every 757. Note, not a single one of these was found at the Pentagon and this is not a component that would have melted or evaporated in any manner at all.

No triangular bezels, and it matches the engine piece at the Pentagon perfectly.

Therdy go.

No, since you put it that way. What's your position on the matter?

4. Mr. Dewd, Sir
Is, if memory serves, a proponent of the peculiar view that a machine loaded with a complex arrangement of shaped charges able to be fired off in tandem with literally thousandth of a second precision is what impacted the Pentagon. He finds himself unable to imagine the force delivered by a hundred tonne mass moving at nearly five hundred miles an hour, or, to put it in more immediate terms, roughly seven hundred feet per second....
