> The aircraft was in a descending turn when one of the control cables under the wing came off the pulley and was wedged in the pulley bracket, locking the stick. The turn tightened until one of the wings folded up over the propeller and was chopped up. While the pulley system at the root cause of this could be improved, the failure mode of "floppy wing got chopped up by the prop" seems like there could be quite a lot of ways to get there. Dunno what you think we've done in the last 50 years to improve on this situation, but for anything other than an emergency, I wouldn't want to bet my life on a vehicle like this. Also, I'm having trouble picturing an emergency that would be resolved by an inflatable plane. Nevermind, I've got it. A single container could hold a hundred inflatable airplanes. That'd be a helluva surprise deployment, if you don't value the lives of your pilots.
