En tout cas, voici ce que préconise la FAA pour la certification dans les cas d' UEF (uncontained engine failure):
7. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS. Practical design precautions should be used to minimize
the damage that Can be caused by uncontained engine and APU rotor fragments. The most
effective methods for minimizing the hazards from uncontained rotor fragments include location
of critical components outside the fragment impact areas or separation, isolation, redundancy,
and shielding of critical airplane components and/or systems. The following design
considerations are recommended:
a. Consider the location of the engine and APU rotors relative to critical components, systems or areas of the airplane such as:
(I) Any other engine(s) or an APU that provides an essential function;
(2) Pressurized sections of the fuselage and other primary structure of the fuselage, wings and empennage;
(3) Pilot compartment areas;
(4) Fuel system components, piping and tanks;
(5) Control systems, such as primary and secondary flight controls, electrical power cables, wiring, hydraulic systems, engine control systems, flammable fluid shut-off valves, and the associated actuation wiring or cables;
(6) Any fire extinguisher system of a cargo compartment, an APU, or another engine including electrical wiring and fire extinguishing agent plumbing to these systems;
(7) Engine air inlet attachments and effects of engine case deformations caused by fan blade debris resulting in attachment failures;(8 )
Instrumentation essential for continued safe flight and landing;(9)

Un des croquis de cette circulaire 20-128 A sur l'angle de projection de débris:Ces études et normes pour les débris sur le fuselage et la possibilité de dépressurisation par UEF ont servi entre autres à obtenir une exemption sur la réglementation dépressurisation; l' A 380 a ainsi été certifié à une altitude max de 43.100 ft (ce n'est pas le seul à avoir eu cette exemption)Voici le schéma de base de la réglementation mais je ne retrouve plus ce qui a été accordé à l' A 380...et désolé pour le copié-collé du texte qui aurait du être comme le texte original.
