I am no expert, but looking at the way it failed and comparing to other brands of turbines, it would seem logical to increase the intake length to straighten out the incoming air. But doing this might also decrease the intake area behind the FOD guard. RPM does not seem to be the problem, mine failed at 116000 rpm and another failed at 112000 rpm. Most of the failures in SA was at reduced rpm's.
