Currently watching a good dramatisation of the incident.

Pitot tubes will apparently fail. How about implementing a system where the RAT is dropped in such scenarios and airspeed calculated from its rpm.

Now, before you shoot me down, teh rpm based on altitude / air density could be confirmed and corroberated using a static port.

Hat / coat etc....
