    It works fine while sitting in your car? I would think you would have a lot of metal and magnetic interference.

    Drone damage to airplanes?

    I know they shoot frozen chicken into the bigger jet engines when testing for damage. It just chops it up and spits it out the back. Smaller planes like Cessna's no doubt would do prop, wing or fuselage damage.
