How long will this pilot last? Just making sure.

The planes right wing has been blown off. I'm sure it will take some time for the plane to crash. But could the pilot be able to have much control left on the plane at all? Even if just a little? should he even be able to survive the drop let alone the crash? And even so, how long should it take for the plane to crash?

Just doing my research.

Help?.. please...

An Israeli F-15 once landed safely after its right wing was sheared off in a mid-air collision.

So it is not an out of control aircraft unless the aircraft's design is that inherently unstable.

Psycho: I take it ejecting isn't an option here?

This is a signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

For any kind of a reasonable answer we'd need to know the type of plane, the altitude, the speed, the pilot's level of skill...
