Anybody notice the props on the Typhoon? How did they get bent that way?

 

[Airframes]

Do you mean the one in uniform, or the dog?!!
Chris, the Typhoon engine was running when the prop struck. This makes the tips bend forward, with one or more tips possibly bending back due to the sudden stop as the prop does it's final rotation. When the engine is stopped, or the prop just idling or 'windmilling', as there is no power to 'fight against', the tips would bend back.
