Listers,

 

I didn’t say Walters failures.  What is said was it seemed like there were a disproportionate crash rate among turbine powered IVs.

 

Just off the top of my head, there was a fatal in New Mexico or Arizona during the flight testing phase.  There was a turbine engine out near Helena.  There was a night crash in Provo. There was a crash in Australia.  There was a presumed weather crash in Canada.  There was an engine out on entering the pattern somewhere.  No this one.

 

There are undoubtedly others.

I can't think of one fatal IVP accident that was caused by the failure of a Walter turbine. According to Michael Smith there have numerous failures. Please educate me.
