Okay, since interesting nice-to-know-stuff has been added everywhere around in this off-topic section
i asked myself,
'Is it possible to modify the wings for emergency, so if one wing falls off, the other one could initiate an autorotational spin to the ground preventing loss of the remaining valuables including the pilot's life?'
Then i went searching, found a fake/ hoax video about a RC-Plane losing a wing and then being exchanged by a similar looking real airplane.landing just normally.
(There is another RC-Plane-Landing with one wing, it looks like the propeller there is used like a helicopter rotor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWoVKs5PljU
So now to the cool stuff:
1983 there was a F-15 on a Training Mission with another F-15 and 4 A-4
An A-4 crashed with that specific F-15 with the F-15 pilot not noticing his wing missing, so he went for an emergency airfield landing, refusing the order to eject immediately.
