IAI's engineers had previously disagreed over the strength of the wing's structure, but several tests had validated the wing's design to be sufficient. Flight testing was suspended for one year, while IAF pilot Danny Shapira took Hacohen's position as chief test pilot. Shapira later noted that the accident had generated significant doubt over the aircraft's suitability, both internally and externally, which made the aircraft considerably more difficult for IAI to sell. On 8 May 1971, the second prototype conducted its first flight.
