KUALA LUMPUR - The fatal collision or two Royal Malaysian Navy helicopters that killed 10 personnel abroad could be due to the failure of critical points of their aircraft structure, aviation expert Assoc Prof Maj Dr Mohd Harridon Mohamed Suffian said.😂😂😂
The Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) Search and Rescue Aviation Unit chief said that if a critical point of an aircraft was affected by certain factors, it would cause the aircraft to lose its aerodynamics.
"That’s why it might not have been able to carry out auto rotation, Usually if a helicopter loses an engine it could carry out auto rotation to land safely, cut land, cut on earth but maybe it hit the critical point, which degraded the aerodynamic rate.
"As there is no more optimum aerodynamics, the aircraft will sway to the left and right and not fly with the optimum trajectory and cause it to crash land,” he said on Bernama TV’s progrmame Malaysia Petang Ini yesterday.
On the Investigation Board set up to identify the cause of the collision, he said he expected the report about the matter would be issued in phases, with a preliminary report and a comprehensive report.
"Maybe in the first phase there will be general information or some discreet information about what happened and the crew members, including their behaviour at that time.
"They will visit the crash site to gather key components or pieces to be brought to the lab for them to figure out the intensity of the crash while in flight and through this method they will submit a preliminary report,” Mohd Harridon said.
The comprehensive report will involve the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that will have further assessment of the data from the lab.

When I saw the first three words in the post/article, and follow by a word called "expert", I realized the man didn't know what he or she was talking about. And when the laughter emoji and red highlight, hmmmh...tak payah sambung baca...
ReplyDeleteBut, thanks for the laughter...
These kind of experts r a plenty in bolihland!
