Aircraft mechanics - I'm assuming all this damage can be repaired?
(Go to about 2:05 to see the wing buckled at the root)

Short answer is yes, it can be repaired. I don't think the wing is actually buckled and, even if it was, it can still be repaired.
Will it be repaired? That's another question entirely. There are all of the same insurance, parts availability, and other such questions that are asked when we damage our own vehicles. Airlines have the added incentive to repair stemming from having to give up the routes that the damaged aircraft would be flying, so I've seen some decisions based upon that criteria when the damage outweighs the value of the aircraft.

Hi
The main wing box structure does not appear to be buckled. The secondary trailing edge structure behind the main box has been damaged by MLG parts moving upwards. I would be confident that it will be repaired. Cheers |

Did you get the memo?

I would defer to Jeff as the expert, but to me it looks like the landing gear was pushed vertically upwards through the upper skin of the wing. You can see where the skin was pushed upwards in a u-shape just above the gear. Which is also why the airplane is leaning sideways at rest.

Looks very similar to the damage sustained by the Alaska Airlines hard landing last year. Did that unit get repaired and returned to service?
