Posted by:  Guest 45587  on August 27th, 2007Look at like this. If the bird hits at a certain angle or even dead on ... it can cause severe damage. Like an egg.. if it hits you in the head with its small end, the egg won't crack but your head will. If it hits you sideways, the egg will simply splatter, leaving a nice bruise but you'll live. This bird must've went dead on into a rotor blade or got perfectly jammed inside the intake. S**t happens, but I hope they ejected when instructed. lmao

Posted by:  Guest  on February 6th, 2006you are all talking s**t. 99 percent of the time it causes slight dinks in the fan blades and blood on the intake. its rare anything else gets damaged. i should know i am in the air force!

Posted by:  Guest  on February 6th, 2006bird strikes are the wrst thing that can happen to a plane, if the bird enterss the engine, the blades will shatter and explode around the engine bay, causing massive damage.
- gav.. where have you ever seen hailstones the size of footballs?

birds and planes are very bad mix.

Posted by:  Guest  on February 6th, 2006the only way a jet can be effected, is if the bird entered the air intake, plans with stand hail the size of footballs etc, i'm sure they can handle a bird.

Posted by:  Guest  on February 6th, 2006especially if it hits near the engine or in th engine/vent

Posted by:  Guest  on February 6th, 2006Kev ur talking Sh*t, a bird hitting any aircaft at 500+ mph will damage it, no matter how how strong the structure is. I've seen plenty planes been brought down by bird strikes.
