No, that's fixable. The first successful BRS deployment
landed in some small trees which softened the landing. The airframe was (so I read) repaired. That part is just cosmetic. It's the 1500 fpm touchdown that drives the gear through the wings, breaks the engine mounts and so on. John "Ben Jackson" wrote in message news:S9cjc.36611$GR.4993942@attbi_s01...

I thought the parachute attachment cables ripping out of seams in the composite airframe is what totalled it. Deploying the chute isn't that bad from an insurance perspective. The avionics, engine and probably many other parts will have significant salvage value. -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/
