Reviewing the 1997 LN-OMP Puma mishap report:
In that case the forward support bar fractured, and the head pulled the gearbox up and back, ripping off the transmission support frame and both rear struts. Gearbox and head all stayed together, despite tremendous rotor forces.
Also in that case, then Eurocopter, the OEM, seemed to come up with rebuttal to root cause, and the report refers to their claim as "absurd".
This is a chicken and egg situation as far as gearbox destruction or strut separation. There are two precedent mishaps with known and different causes, with different outcomes.
We should and do expect that despite the press release strategy, AH will be keen to investigate root cause and work diligently to effect the solution.
