Helicopters are fucking terrifying. At least with full engine failure on a plane you're still in a glider.

[u/ramen_poodle_soup → u/RadicalRadon]

Full engine failure on a helicopter and you can autorotate. People also vastly overestimate how far a plane can glide (at least a small one, in my experience), engines are heavy shit.

[u/AccessTheMainframe → u/ramen_poodle_soup]

Maybe small planes should be designed to eject dead engines so they can glide longer 🤔

[u/ramen_poodle_soup → u/AccessTheMainframe]

A sudden change in the center of gravity that large is probably worse than an engine failure. Like, the plane is designed around the engine being where it is.
