SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. THE PILOT SAID HE THOUGHT HE COULD MAKE THE AIRPORT AND TURNED TOWARD IT. JUST SHORT OF THE AIRPORT, THE ENGINE QUIT COMPLETELY. THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE AIRPORT BUT CROSSWAYS TO THE RUNWAY. WHILE ATTEMPTING ALIGNMENT, THE RIGHT WING TIP TOUCHED THE GROUND. THE RIGHT GEAR STRUT FAILED AND THE LEFT GEARBOX BROKE OUT OF THE WING. POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED A FAILED ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP.
