    No joke airframe losses are worked into r&d, they’re still beta testing if we’re being honest that shit was never just limited to games.

      yeah. no aircraft expects to get through it’s entire type-use life without some crashes.

      Some are better than others, some are notorious for killing lots of pilots, like the f86.

      some, like the osprey, are the intersection of a few accidents killing loads of people because it’s hauling people and doing clever nifty tiltrotor shit in conditions it’s pilots may have never experienced.
