They need to design an emergency tail rotor recovery device - when the tail rotor fails, the recovery device activates just long enough to get the helicopter down. Perhaps a "rocket" based device that is powered by the helicopter's fuel that generates a variable/selectable force perpendicular and opposite to the main rotor until the helicopter can land.

@@joefagan9335 If the clutch is slip may be the problem too.

Just my guess.
I think AW169 has two weak points. Clutch system may not fully engaged or slip in operation can lead to rotor speed drop and lost lift. Second there is no back up power call APU. if main engine down or the alternator gone bad, the electronical control and system may be failed lead to uncontrollable situation.

A great idea William, certainly some sort of back-up system is urgently required
Use of turbine exhaust flow to the tail tip with some diverter to stabilize tail is possible.
