So, it still landed, upright no less, with a piece of the rotor blade missing?
I'd guess that when a piece of rotor comes off during flight, the imbalance would make landing impossible. Very curious to what happened, but probably we'll never know exactly.
- tempestn 3y agoMy guess would be that the rotor struck the ground during landing.
- Kerb_ 3y agoIf I'm interpreting the picture correctly, it does look like there is a gouge on the ground in the pic showing the shadow
- somat 3y agoAlso, there are some very interesting shiny blue rocks in that photo. I assume scrapped by the rotor. I would be very interested in a xenogeology article on this.
- tempestn 3y agoMaybe those are pieces of rotor? I know the rotors look white in the other picture, but maybe the broken surface is different and/or they look bluish reflecting light in that picture.
