im making a valid well educated analysis here
But, you’re not, that’s why you are getting the comments you are. Ignoring the mast bumping, your entire analysis of the consequences of a TR drive failure is nonsense. You make comments about “zero torque”, “nothing for the engine to drive”, and “the rotor slowing down” etc. all of which are totally incorrect.

If you go back to basics, how many times has this happened in previous TR drive failure incidents in the past? I doubt anyone here has heard of one and, frankly, if this was the logical outcome, of a failure type that has a relatively high risk of occurring, I’m sure many here will have stopped flying sooner!
