A test flight in China nearly ended in disaster when a new F-27 helicopter suffered a serious safety incident after a sudden break was discovered in its tail section. The problem developed during the flight and brought the aircraft close to crashing.
Two test pilots were on board at the time of the incident and were injured. They were evacuated for medical treatment after the emergency.
