NASA crashed a helicopter — again — but don’t worry, nobody got hurt and, just like last time, it was done all in the name of science.
A crew of crash test dummies took the brunt of the crash as a CH-46E Sea Knight donated by the U.S. Navy was dropped from a height of 35 feet, hitting the ground at about 30 mph. Data from the test will be used to help make helicopters safer for occupants in accidents.
