This is interesting to me for obvious reasons. I'm sure that the guys here who work with composites regularly are not surprised by the outcome of this video.

Pretty damn cool. Made from Carbon Fiber and Kevlar. Nice job by the pilots too.

Following a flight-testing incident in experimental helicopter ZK-HOL SN#003 on Saturday 8 November 2014, Composite Helicopters International Test Pilots Peter Maloney and Norbert Idelon reflect on their emergency landing and the technology that saved them. Composite Helicopters International has manufactured the world’s first helicopter with a full monocoque fuselage fabricated entirely from rigid composite materials. This design and composite materials provide unparalleled impact, corrosion and fatigue resistance. With their patented EvoStrength™ technology, the helicopter represents an evolution in helicopter structural strength and an important development in helicopter manufacturing globally. With over 250 hours of flight testing performed already, the helicopter is stronger, safer and has the lowest operational costs in its class.

I don't work with composites, but I can appreciate the survivability of that aircraft.

The pilots did a great job of continuing to fly all the way to the ground.
