There was also the very special engine on the SR-71, which was a turbojet at low speeds but at high speeds it transformed into a ramjet, deriving almost all of its thrust from dumping compressed air directly into the afterburner

My buddy is a thermo engineer, so he designs jet engines, as part of testing the engine, they have what he called a Chicken Gun; the chicken gun propels frozen chickens into the engine.

I forget how fast the frozen chicken is flying but it's very fast and would kill you if you stood in its' path.

My dad worked for the testing division of General Electric Aircraft Engines. The Evendale, Ohio plant had a family day and had a bunch of displays of testing and demos of the manufacturing tools (I got a metal disc with a plane silhouette cur out with a laser cutter or water jet and a coin stamped in one of the die presses). One of the testing displays was a 90s era big screen TV playing a VHS tape of a bird test where they shot a Canada goose at and engine and filmed it at high speed.

They might not always be frozen, I dunno, I (would think) for certain tests a frozen chicken would be better, but for other tests an unfrozen would be better.

I've always heard the frozen chicken story described as an urban legend, a thawed chicken at aircraft cruising speed is plenty damaging already and would probably kill a human on impact

A goose at car speed can gently caress up your nose, I have to assume a chicken at ten times that will kill you stone dead. But valid testing requires consistency, so the procedures probably specify. :henget:

I'm an Aerospace Engineer, used to work engines for the Air Force. The thawed chicken test is very real but I've never seen a credible source for using frozen ones. There would be no point to using that over a large ice cube. Sometimes they do use Turkeys over chickens if they are concerned about larger birds. The tests are also used on cockpit windows to verify that they will protect the pilots from a bird strike.

I had to work a mishap where an aircraft stirred up a flock of birds and the following aircraft was struck by dozens and crashed. It's really rewarding to work that kind of mishap but it's pretty OSHA sorting through aircraft debris for evidence of cause and bagging remains to be sent back to the lab to verify human or bird.

With the experience of working mishaps, as long as those tanks landed in the airfield, that pilot did the right thing. The most important thing in that situation is to make sure that no part of the aircraft hits people on the ground. After that, get the gently caress out safely. You have tenths of seconds to make a decision and releasing external fuel tanks onto the runway is so much better than having them or the plane come down in an occupied area.

Approaching the problem from the other end, airports have bird control programs which range from obvious (shooting, and preventing roosting) to less obvious (not shooting at, but shooting cannons and making shitload of anti bird noise, and predator introduction) to unexplainably high tech or weird (anti bird lasers? Egg eating pig patrols?)

I mean, ice slab is a test as well so maybe some enterprising test engineer tried to kill 2 birds with one stone?

The FAA would not approve.

Some airports use trained border collies to harass, eg, flocks of geese into leaving.

I saw a video about bird handlers with some sort of bird of prey being hired to fly their bird near by and scare other birds away, I think sepcial FAA approved drones are also being tested.

It's a pretty simple point. Complaining about OSHA issues when THEIR loving COUNTRY IS BEING OVERRUN by a dictator who thinks 30 years is enough and it's time to get the band back together and sing Back in the USSR, is loving dumb as poo poo. Oh boo hoo they're welding close to Molotov cocktails, they should really think about creating those caltrops in an OSHA approved manner and get them inspected properly before oh what's that the country has been annexed while you were waiting for the inspector to show up?

There's a time and place for OSHA, guerrilla warfare ain't it.
