A Drone Hits a Plane

Here is the result of another test..

******FROM ROLLS-ROYCE STAFF MAGAZINE ******



Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead
chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets travelling at
maximum speed.

The idea was to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with
airborne fowl in order to test the strength of windshields.

American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the
windshields of their new high speed trains.

Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the American engineers.

When the gun was fired, the engineers stood, shocked, as the chicken
hurtled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed
it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the
engineer's back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the
cabin as if it were a bullet. The horrified Yanks sent Rolls Royce the
disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the
windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions.

You'll love this......

Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo:

"Defrost the chicken."
ha ha
 
For sure it can be very dangerous, check the bird strike test bellow:

Hi, if you research this actual video it is not a bird strike, it's a blade off test hence the front explosion you see as the bade is blown off to see if the damage can be contained within the cowling, a bird strike is not good but not this.

"And indeed the early reports of a dent in the front of the plane were not confirmed - there was no actual damage to the plane and there's indeed some speculation that it may have even been a plastic bag or something.
"I've not actually landed a 747 at Heathrow but I've landed the simulator and the pilot has a lot of other things to concentrate on so we're not quite sure what they saw so I think we should maybe not overreact too much."
Knew it! Totally bogus reporting.

Lovely.
 
I KNEW it.

Its about time someone did something about these plastic bags - Government warnings about children suffocating is one thing but if people are going to let them blow in the air up to those sort of heights then they need to be banned (or at least licensed).
I would advocate a ground based shopping school (showing the dangers of a bag splitting under too much weight of shopping) along with a practical test that shows the user can handle their bag responsibly in controlled areas (shopping malls, car parks etc)

This has got to stop - they are going to get bags banned for all of us!

The FAA must introduce a plastic bag operator license ASAP, before a plane full of people is brought down.

think i just wet my self
 
With two handles there is no real redundancy.
If one of those handles fails, your shopping is going to hit the ground.
Double bagging is much better for commercial shopping and the FAA should insist on it of your are shopping near crowds.
Also a reverse parachute system a.k.a. counter weight.. You know, to counter the threat these unmanned flyaways pose to the general public.
 
Plastic bags should be banned. They are an environmental disaster.

Plastic bags have rights. :rolleyes:
