Hate to see it break. But - That’s why you test.
Now - if they made it to a safety factor of 1.25 or 1.55 or 2.55 instead of 1.025 .... It might not break (at least not at that same place!) but it would be able to carry less fuel, less aero electronics, less payload, less armor, smaller engines ... and we’d be back flying the Wright bro’s original airplane.

True, true. I’m just glad these craft will never be under any structural stress during operation. ;’)
