On April 22, 2019, a Northrop N-9MB aircraft crashed in Norco, California, United States, killing the pilot. The aircraft was the last survivor of four built and was destroyed in the crash. Investigators attributed the accident to the "pilot's loss of control", but were unable to conclusively determine a cause for the control loss, as severe impact damage to the engines, flight controls and propellers "precluded functional testing".[1]: 1
