To quote myself.
Could it be the main picture is of an impact at an extreme attitude . . . the bulk of the aircraft then sliding down with parts still in tact?
Does anyone have any knowledge of how those leading edges affect the potential to climb rapidly.
Optimizing climb is one thing, but pulling violently to avoid something, only to be overridden by a computer, is another. Could it be this aircraft was capable of being pulled up hard enough to mush into the mountainside?
