This is a link to NASA's Dryden Space Center site: CID
They did this thing called a "Controlled Impact Demonstration" (CID) back in 1984 to test a jet-fuel additive.  Basically, they rigged a Boeing 727 with remote controls, filled it with crash test dummies and 76,000 lbs. of fuel, and crashed it in the desert. They even had wing shear devices planted to further destroy the plane. Even with those, they had difficulty ripping the wings off - although they didn't quite land on target. The site has pictures and information, and if you go to the bottom of the page you see a link to here where you can download movies of the CID also. Pretty crazy stuff. |
