Purely out of interest, are there any stats available for successful (Cat A) aborts above V1 where the aircraft would not have been able to fly and re-land safely? I think the only one I am aware of is the 748 at Stansted where I believe the Captain was told 'unofficially' by the investigators that in their opinion his wing would probably have burnt through downwind.
I suggest we leave out any '100% engine failures' where the decision is made for you.
