Ouch,
glad THAT didn't happen in the air.


Seeing an engine depart must be on about the same excitement level as
seeing aeroelastic vibration in the wing tips.
Makes me think of a reason why I sometimes see a wire cable tether round
a couple of engine fixings back to a bulkhead. A loose engine has a
better CofG that a missing engine, no doubt!

Destruct static testing done in a non-silly and relevant manner. Kind
of cool to see that they predicted the failure mode and location. The
wing was designed within a couple of percent of the goal. No weight
sacrificed here.
