I wonder if they wouldn't rotate the blades 180 degrees to compare how much is actually missing. Seems like they would be able to adjust the pitch of the blade to compensate for damage, but it could be that a large enough portion is damaged as to make it infeasible

They did plan some blade rotations, then this image came down. I hope they do more imaging. there should be a lot more images on the helicopter, lets see what is made public in the days ahead
