Watch: NASA helicopter crash test

NASA researchers spent more than three years preparing for less than 10 seconds

Mumbai: Internet is flooded with bendgate videos of iPhone 6. In a similar context, here is a video from NASA showing how safe are NASA’s helicopters.

NASA researchers and others from the military, national and international government agencies spent more than three years preparing for less than 10 seconds. That's about how long it took for a 45-foot-long former Marine helicopter to fall 30 feet into a bed of dirt during the Transport Rotorcraft Airframe Crash Testbed (TRACT 2) full-scale crash test at NASA Langley's Landing and Impact Research (LANDIR) facility.
