But no, turns out that actually happens in reality. That goes for metal props but wood and composite ones tend to shatter into a shower of splinters when they strike and sometimes the wood ones fly apart mid flight if they have not been inspected for cracks or rot for far too long, either way the engine will need a complete tear down and inspection if not straight up replaced.

If you're using the awful app, embed is the [bb] button next to the post arrow. Click that, select insert image or insert imgur, paste link in that.

 Just to abuse this new feature I found, this BF-109 was gifted to Britain (shot down) and made a nice belly landing in someone’s field. Supposedly it sits mostly as it was found, with some instruments taken for war research.

If gear up landings wreck propellers so much, then why do pilots keep doing them? I say just make gear up landings illegal and then only criminals will be breaking propellers. Problem solved.

Just make the blades so short that they can't hit anything below fuselage.

The Osprey's props are designed to be frangible so in an emergency it can land horizontally in airplane mode. Because I am not an engineer, this is actually how I learned the word frangible

Long story short, your dentist can’t afford an airplane with the appropriate amount of computer control, and has no time for wasting time at a training camp.

New to you, sure, but it's been there as long as I can remember using the awful app, at least 5 years. You could always insert img files the old fashion way using bbcode [img] tags, too, just like the old days when you'd get a link from an upload to waffleimages and have to tag it yourself. Not everyone knows how to do that, though, and I'm glad you know how to post pics now. If you're using android awful app, take a moment and look around for the "post new thread" button.

It's one of the strongest "mah daddy did X so I'm gonna do X" idiot vibes you can find in all of america. And crayola would go bankrupt without hungry marines to feed.
