I'm trying to design a thin wire-loop that extends out (forward and down) from the wingtip to absorb some of the shock of crash impact and lessen the damage.
Anyone seen anything similar or any other method of redistributing the crash energy?

AND
Does a cheap plastic spinner absorb more crash energy than a sturdy one? (just like how a good bicycle helmet will crack in a major impact so as to disperse and spread the force).
Any other tips?
