All the above is well and good if the ac is complete, but are there any thoughts on whether the tail might have partially separated pre impact?
Those were my thoughts too, especially after I read about the fenstrom/tailboom frame attachment cracking issues already known about on the type. However, the fenestron was with the main wreckage.
I wonder how far the frame can partly separate and distort and "lean back" before the rear driveshaft disengages?
