WIRED magazine article on the effects of a quadcopter hitting a plane in flight

Great....before you know it, it's going to be illegal to shoot drones out of a cannon at aircraft. [emoji23]

Ok ..sorry...

I liked this test though because damage can occur yes, but there needs to be comparison data vs. Birds etc. to really get to the actual risk.

I also like it because I grew up in Tullahoma TN near AEDC where cannons were routinely used to fire chickens (frozen) at aircraft canopies.

Very cool stuff....except for the chickens.
 
Did you see the affects of the falling pumpkin on a house two skydivers dropped from over 2000 feet up? It left a hole through the roof and exploded all over the kitchen. Anything with mass traveling fast can pack enough inertia to damage things.
