If this is a Flap Track Fairing from 9M-MRO, the question arises, how was this damage inflicted ?
Is it consistent with relatively "gentle" impact forces expected in a controlled ditching, or devastating impact forces expected in a a high speed dive entry to the water ?
Given the shape of the metal frame, and the fact that there is no significant sign of "physical distress" between it and the attached honeycomb structure, I would assume the former. Thoughts ?
