Fatal E1000 test-flight accident
The E1000 prototype, built for NASA’s CAFE Green Flight Challenge, suffered structural failure during its second test flight in May 2011 when its tail separated shortly after takeoff. Test pilot Martin Wezel died. The available reference states that the details of the accident remained unclear and does not establish a final finding of corporate wrongdoing.
