flameouts
Sudden combustion losses
Flameouts is the plural of flameout.
In aviation, a flameout is the failure of a jet engine due to combustion stopping—the flame literally goes out: The pilot reported dual flameouts at 30,000 feet.
Figuratively, a flameout is a spectacular failure or collapse, especially of a person or enterprise that showed early promise: The startup was one of the great flameouts of the dot-com era.
