An explicit numerical analysis was employed to assess the dynamic damage development in advanced high-bypass propulsion system in the event of a drone ingestion. CFRP was implemented in the fan blade design and rate-dependent metal alloy properties were considered. Details of damage history on the subjected propulsion system were discussed.
