"BUT, in this case of a totally mangled nacelle changing the airflow and flight characteristics of the wing and the control surfaces, I doubt this plane handled the same as it would had an engine just been shut down but no change to its physical aerodynamics."

I was wondering if they do that kind of emergency gotchas in simulators during training. Depending on location of the hole in the fuselage, it would have differing affects on the aerodynamics. Afore wing would be completely different than aft wing. Am I wrong?

You are correct, The trailing and leading edge flaps and slats being damaged would definitely change flight characteristics differently depending on the site and severity of damage.

You think a missing nacelle, a missing bypass fan and a broken window adversely affect aerodynamics? How about Aloha Airlines 243 thirty years ago?
