It’s also designed to glide to a safe landing without any engines

If anyone is wondering where the rest of the engine went

I’m in Morrison. I don’t recall if any people or buildings were damaged by the debris.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I recall from videos of this house that it bounced off their pickup truck and the front of their garage. Fairly minor damage, though.

That fairing is really just there to reduce drag and up fuel efficiency. It's not necessary for flight

This is the flight that crapped airplane parts all over Broomfield, CO, one afternoon. The plane made it back safely, thankfully.

I love living in Broomfield where you get crapped on by planes. ?

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not "thankfully". Its designed to make it back. Every failure is torn apart in detail to improve safety. It could fall off and still fly.

4 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

It's designed to sheer off under certain circumstances. I believe it's 2-4 specially designed pins that hold the thing on (depends on model)
