The article below states the recent V-22 mishap caused the RH wing to snap-off after the A/C dropped from a height of
6-feet and went on to tout the wing seperation as another designed-in feature for passenger safety. I recall Blackhawk hard-
landing test video that seemingly surpassed a 6-foot fall with the airframe receiving no structural damage and was flyable afterwards.
I would assume the V-22 had to pass a similar crash-worthiness test and would be interested to know if a 6-foot drop causing
Class A (unflyable) damage met the spec. Anyone care to do the math or speculate?
