Gawd I hate flying. I'd have been a rek on that plane.

I went off the cliff at the airport on Catalina Island in a plane when I was in high school.

Do we have a "Rotating Parts Engineer" here?
I wonder if hailstones like that damage the engines, or if it is just like throwing ice cubes in a blender. I would think vanes and blades are all shot. But on the other hand, the compressor will do a good job of grinding up just about anything that enters I would think.
Birds get swallowed up with no ill effects.

I'm no engine ear, but I know that those engines are very VERY stout. They'll run stuff thru there you wouldn't believe and still run with barely a hickup. They're kind of redundant in nature so a bit of damage won't make it inoperable. You'd have to almost completely destroy 50% or more of the turbine to kill it.

I have a video clip of a guy getting sucked THRU a jet engine on an aircraft carrier, and got spit out the back side almost scratch free. Amazing the way it just sucked him in and spit him out.

Engine tests...

I have read somewhere that they shoot chickens through the front window and running turbine engines to test reliability.

The ultimate grinder for minced meat.

Mostly when a jetfighter has to make an emergency landing is not when a bird flies into the turbine, but more when one goes through the front window. At those speeds one can get very badly injured.

There is an old story about the US Air Force using a steam canon to shoot chickens at jet windscreens for testing. According to the story the testing facility was run by a certain Colonel by the name of (what else?) Sanders. LOL

It's not just a 'story'. I've seen the videos. Gruesome, but kinda kewl too.

How 'bout the 'real' cadavers they used to use for crash test dummies?

Can you say

I need new underwear and sets in this plane; it must have sounded like hell in that plane.

My buddy owns a small 4-setter warrior 2. We got caught in a little rainstorm and it sounded like the plane was going to come apart. Manage that tin can.
