Hmmm. Stand by for incoming critiques...
Is there a version in colour?
What sense makes the backward move??
If you were over forest or rocky ground where trashing the aircraft would seem to be unavoidable and were unable to reduce forward speed for some reason, is it preferable to hit the ground backwards in respect to increasing passenger survivability?
Gearbox and engine not between passengers and ground, less chance of rotors hitting passengers? passengers facing backwards?
