Ever hear of “Diminished Value” insurance claims?
Theres no “injury” there, but you can get money from an insurance co for the loss of value from a repaired vehicle as compared to a repaired-to-new-condition one (consider the carfax at resale, one is spotless and one has a major repair listed).

Am I the only one here who thinks this is complete BS?
I would wager money this is a conventional rifle (likely AR) with a shroud.

Shot in the dark indeed.
The idea that an excessive interference is the cause of failure is likely totally backwards. In aerospace we occasionally use ForceMate bushings that are actually installed and stretched from the ID into an incredible interference fit, thereby putting the parent material into compression, which…
The only operational tiltrotor, the V-22, has over a quarter-million flight hours in the field. It has experienced exactly zero dual-engine failures in its lifetime, and zero incidents (for any cause) where a helicopter-equivalent autorotation to the ground would have been required. The low likelihood of that was…
“Hard to reach” could also mean “beyond the range of conventional helicopters”
lol probably because “for which” makes no sense, unless the V-22 was designed to compliment the 609 in operation or something and didn’t predate it by about 15 years.
You are about half right with this assessment.
The V-22 underwent extremely intensive VRS assessment after the Marana crash (where the V-22 actually was flown far in excess of its published NATOPS descent limits in that incident). A lot of work went into understanding the unsteady flow and vortex interaction between…
“After Bell (the co-maker of the V-22 Osprey on which AW609 is based) dropped out of the program, Agusta Westland continued with it.”
Today is a sad day for the aviation community. Herb Moran was a fantastic, humble guy.
From the accounts, it sounds like Herb and Pietro were able to make a last ditch effort to avoid the more populated area of town and go down in the cornfield.
If the in-flight fire suggested by eyewitnesses is true, this is no doubt…
Rockmart huh, isn’t that now Meggitt?
Similar issues came up on the S-76D inlets. The production design looks nothing like the original concepts as a result. Maybe you guys also did some work on that.
You think inlet deicing is fun...try to imagine doing it in the rotating system under CF with straining composites (I’m…
Perhaps Butler or Belcan? Most likely RCM.
I miss lobster rolls at Seven Seas in Milford
MACS deuce!
Where’s your challenge coin!
Stratford? Ft Worth? Or one of the design centers?
Alright, who is buying me a drink?
None of us brought Android phones
Why does this car, of all the Lexuses (Lexii?), not have a manual? I mean, come on. Give us one choice.
117 Euros?? I’ll take it!
That’s a pretty good summary, though you forgot where we “sold” the surplus EH101 VXX airframes for pennies on the dollar to the Canadian government as CH-149 spares.
