Abstract
An engine system includes an engine having a housing and moving parts for converting energy into mechanical motion; and a first containment blanket having a sheet member and a fastening system. The sheet member extends below a bottom of the engine housing. The fastening system holds the sheet member to the engine such that the first containment blanket laterally shrouds the engine housing to contain debris projected from the engine housing.
