Like Helicopter Blender but with running jet engines. The key difference is that a living being is sucked into a jet engine and doesn't come out in pieces afterwards (unless those pieces are really, really tiny) — it gets reduced to a Pink Mist. Likewise, a non-living object comes out in tiny shiny shreds. Due to how horrific this is, characters who die from this almost always have a Cruel and Unusual Death. Very definitely a Truth in Television, as the jet engines most people are familiar with are the high-bypass turbofan engines on commercial airliners, which draw in a tremendous volume of air and thus produce hurricane-force winds in the region near the engine inlet. The spinning item at the very front of the engine is a very-unforgiving ducted fan made of titanium blades spinning at thousands of RPM, which will rapidly render an animal as large as a person into something akin to liquefied beef. Ground crew that must work near active jet engines must keep anything not tied down (including themselves) some tens of meters away, outside the hazard zone, or else risk becoming, well, ground crew. Any type of foreign object that strikes an aircraft (either the airframe or the engines) and damages it is called foreign object damage, of which the most typical type are "bird strikes," although ice/hail damage is also common. To a certain limit, airliners must be able to strike birds, and engines must be able to ingest birds, without causing the airframe or engine to fail. In the case of engines, this means the engine must be able to be struck by a bird up to a particular size, blend it, and pass it out the exhaust (usually by bypassing the engine's core) all without damaging the engine to the point it loses function. In essence, part of the purpose of the fandisk is being specifically designed to blend objects, if only to protect the rest of the engine. It's worth pointing out that an airliner is also intended to be capable of a controlled landing with one of its engines non-functional (assuming it doesn't explode or anything), so even a larger impact might be survivable, but it's still a risk no one wants to take. In fact, larger birds such as geese have been known to damage airliner engines to the point of failure (as with the US Airways Flight 1549 incident in 2009). This is where the trope tends to deviate from reality, as typically when it is used the jet engines continue functioning with no problem whatsoever after consuming a full-sized human or more. Note that the turbofan (jet) engine is so called because it contains a turbine (at the very back of the engine) which turns a fan (at the very front of the engine). The bladed disk at the front of the engine is a fan, not a turbine. It must be noted, though, that the aircraft design includes tuning airflow around aircraft so that incoming objects are drawn away from fragile parts. As a result, despite dirt flying well above the height of an airplane, it flies past the engine inlets. Ideally, incoming birds should be redirected away from the engines. Fun fact: the scientific term for remnants-of-bird from bird strike is "snarge", as it was probably the cleanest word to come out of the mouth of the first jet-engine mechanic to encounter it. Might happen to some superheroes that fly a little too close to a plane. Especially when wearing a cape. Subtrope of Deadly Rotary Fan. |

Played with in The Thing (2011). Two of our heroes are walking across the hull of a huge Flying Saucer when it starts to power up and they realise they're standing on the air intake vents, which start flicking one-by-one to a vertical position. They run like hell for the hatch, but the woman doesn't make it in time and falls screaming into a vent. She wakes up unharmed inside the spaceship, however, and the incident only serves to split them up in the kind of horror movie where that trope is an even more bad idea than usual. | |

The Simpsons: Played for Laughs after Totally-Not-Mary-Poppins leaves the Simpsons via magic parasol. Homer is asked if they'll ever see her again, and he says he's sure they will. A few seconds afterwards, while the family is looking the other way, she gets sucked into a jet turbine. When a shipping mix-up causes a jetpack to be sent to Chief Wiggum, he dubs himself the "Sky Police" and makes up his own theme song. One part of it has him using the massive turbines on the jetpack to grind up a pair of punks tagging a wall. |

Grand Theft Auto V: This is the unfortunate fate of Molly Schultz; when she realizes that Michael is chasing after her, she (understandably) freaks out, and in her panicked attempt to get away runs in front of an active jet engine. The player is then treated to a lovely view of Molly salsa spraying out of the back of the engine, much to Michael's disgust. Subverted by what can happen to anyone else - because the game relies on Ragdoll Physics and Molly's death is scripted, nothing else gets sucked into jet engines, but if you're particularly careless when exiting or walking around near a helicopter or propeller-driven plane (both of which take several seconds for their engines to stop in the case of the former scenario), they'll get you killed instantly. |

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. Our heroes enter the Hive via an air intake, which requires easing themselves between the blades of a giant turbine. The power starts to come on while they are doing this, but surprisingly all of them make it through; however Wesker sees what they are doing on the cameras and reverses the turbine, sucking a Mauve Shirt into the spinning blades before the power goes out again. | |

The first Bloodbath Challenge in MadWorld is the Turbinator, which is about throwing mooks into a gigantic turbine to reduce them to bloody clouds. Probably justified, since the turbine was likely modified specifically for the event and is larger than any normal turbine. This also happens to Von Twirlenkiller after he's defeated, namely by getting punched up into the air and liquefied by one of his own turbine arms that got hacked off in the battle. |

In MechWarrior Living Legends, battlearmor players attempting to ride on the Hawkmoth VTOL are relatively safe if they ride on the wings and the pilot is careful.

We don't really get to see how realistically the engine processes a human-sized object, because she fell in during a grapple with an android, and the turbine didn't handle that as well as it did Rin. | |

In A View to a Kill, Big Bad Corrupt Corporate Executive Max Zorin throws a Russian spy into an underwater turbine headfirst at Zorin's power plant. In Licence to Kill, henchman Dario gets brutally killed by being dropped into a cocaine grinder. His screams of pain combined with the red dust and the music playing during this scene only make it worse. In Die Another Day, Big Bad Gustav Graves gets sucked into his plane's engines, after Bond presses the button on Graves' cyber suit which causes Graves to electrocute himself and lose his grip of the plane window. The engine makes a heavy grinding sound as it rips Graves to pieces. |

In PS238, Captain Clarinet starts out with a pathological fear of flying, due to having repeated nightmares of being sucked into a jet engine. It doesn't particularly improve matters when Zodon 'helpfully' reminds him that his invulnerability ensures that, should that happen, he'd come out on the other side unscattered... while the plane plummets to the ground in flames with the passengers aboard. ...And then Zodon plays a 'practical joke' on him that results in it happening in real life. It backfires spectacularly in that it ends up curing the good captain of his phobia instead of compounding it when is forced to use his flight to put the damaged plane down safely. |

In one of the first issues of her third series, She-Hulk (as Jen Walters) and her associate Mallory Book are investigating the death of a man who got sucked into a jet engine. As they're looking around the test lab, someone switches the engine on and seals the lab so the two can't escape. Jen figures at the last minute that if she hulks out and shields Book with her body they'll make it through the blades alive. They do, but both their suits are shredded. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe A Mook in Captain America: The First Avenger is taken out by the propeller of a flying bomb; unusually for a superhero film, there's no Gory Discretion Shot and he explodes into a red mist right there on-screen. In The Avengers, Iron Man repairs one of the Helicarrier's turbines and gets caught in it as it restarts. He makes it out in one piece, though his armor is pretty chewed up and it's retired for the next model soon afterward. His whimper of "uh oh" as he's flattened against the accelerating blade behind him and the subsequent clanging and screeching as he's repeatedly battered and dragged around by the blades is side-splittingly hilarious. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Winter Soldier punts a S.H.I.E.L.D. technician into a Quinjet engine, which explodes. In Black Widow (2021), the shady Russian equivalent of a Helicarrier (and a much bigger facility, too!) starts collapsing once Melina makes one of its turbines explode from falling debris. |

Mega Man (Ruby-Spears) has one of these in the first episode. Subverted in that it only flings Protoman out the other side—into a brick wall. This is justified in that Protoman is an extremely well-built robot. Harder to explain is that he neither gets stuck nor tears fan blades and other shrapnel out of the engine. | |

This resulted in an emergency landing and Darkwing receiving an ensuing lawsuit that forced him to donate his body to a Chinese restaurant to pay for his daughter Gosalyn's kidney transplant. A parody of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy has the trio on a plane and Grim working up the courage to kill Billy and Mandy by throwing them into the turbine. |

The Incredibles: During the "no capes" montage, Stratogale has just leveled out a Boeing 707 from a dive, flies up in front of the wing and waves at a male passenger only to be sucked into the engine when her cape gets pulled into the turbine intake. The passenger looks on in alarm and must have been scarred for life (if the plane was able to land safely) because while the audience is allowed a Discretion Shot, he obviously wasn't... The Big Bad Syndrome suffers the same fate at the end of the movie. In this case, the engine explodes followed by the entire plane. |

In Dead Space 2, a player can optionally choose to destroy the otherwise invincible Hunter by shooting it back into a turbine. Because the player is running to complete a Timed Mission, though, it's unlikely to be seen. In Dead Space 3, you face multiple regenerating Necromorphs towards the end of the space segment of the game, where you can use a set of big guns to knock them into turbines to finally kill them. |

Happens in 9-1-1 to an airport baggage handler who stops a runaway luggage cart by ramming it with another one, but is too busy revelling in the cheers of those who witnessed it from the airport window to realise he's stepped into the reach of an active turbine until it sucks him in. It ends up being subverted when he survives because a passenger's bag of brand new golf clubs (which were the cause of the runaway cart and whose owner faints dead away in horror when he sees them) that got sucked in just before him jammed the engine's inner workings before he could be sliced to ribbons. He still requires medical attention though and the emergency crew make it clear that his survival is nothing short of a miracle.note This is actually Based on a True Story that occurred on the USS Theodore Roosevelt; see the story of USN Petty Officer JD Bridges in the Real Life section below. | |
