yeah. no aircraft expects to get through it’s entire type-use life without some crashes.
Some are better than others, some are notorious for killing lots of pilots, like the f86.
some, like the osprey, are the intersection of a few accidents killing loads of people because it’s hauling people and doing clever nifty tiltrotor shit in conditions it’s pilots may have never experienced.

reaches into pocket and pulls out 32 cents, a paperclip, a button and a ball of lint
less than nothing in so far as the cleanup will far exceed anything that might be reusable after this event.
any data obtained during crash would be pretty useful for development
No joke airframe losses are worked into r&d, they’re still beta testing if we’re being honest that shit was never just limited to games.
