Noar Linhas Aéreas Flight 4896
On 13 July 2011, Noar Linhas Aéreas Flight 4896, a Let L-410 Turbolet passenger aircraft on a domestic service from Recife to Mossoró, Brazil, crashed shortly after take-off in the Boa Viagem neighbourhood of Recife, after suffering an engine failure. All 16 people on board were killed. Accident The aircraft took off from Recife Airport's runway 18 at 06:50 local time (09:50 UTC) bound for Augusto Severo International Airport, Natal and then Mossoró Airport, its final destination. Seconds after lift-off, the left engine lost power, and a minute later the crew issued a mayday call, requesting to return immediately to the airport. The Turbolet climbed to 400 ft while turning to position itself for a landing on the opposite runway 36, but it subsequently started losing altitude. At 06:54, shortly after the crew announced their intention to attempt an emergency landing on the beach, the aircraft stalled and crashed into an open area of Boa Viagem, between Visconde de Je ...

Engine Failure At Take-off
An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one or more forms of energy into mechanical energy. Available energy sources include potential energy (e.g. energy of the Earth's gravitational field as exploited in hydroelectric power generation), heat energy (e.g. geothermal), chemical energy, electric potential and nuclear energy (from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Many of these processes generate heat as an intermediate energy form; thus heat engines have special importance. Some natural processes, such as atmospheric convection cells convert environmental heat into motion (e.g. in the form of rising air currents). Mechanical energy is of particular importance in transportation, but also plays a role in many industrial processes such as cutting, grinding, crushing, and mixing. Mechanical heat engines convert heat into work via various thermodynamic processes. The internal combustion engine is perhaps the most common example of a mechanical heat engine in which heat ...
