Challenge Test 2 (A Real One!)

This one is ahead of its time. It is American and most unusual. Who can tell me how?

When in first trials, there was difficulty making it crash on command. Finally, one ran out of gas, whereupon it promptly fell out of the sky. An engine shutoff was then used to good effect.
