==Aircraft testing== {{See|Aviation safety}}There has also been extensive destructive testing of passenger and military aircraft, conducted by aircraft manufacturers and organizations like [[NASA]]. The [[2012 Boeing 727 crash experiment]] was conducted and filmed by the [[Discovery channel]]. It is now standard procedure to test to destruction the first few production models of new airplanes by loading various components until they fail.
