The research was a comparative study between a bird strike and a drone strike on an aircraft wing, using a drone similar in weight to many hobby drones and a wing selected to represent a leading edge structure of a commercial transport aircraft. The drone and gel bird were the same weight and were launched at rates designed to reflect the relative combined speed of a fully intact drone traveling toward a commercial transport aircraft moving at a high approach speed. See the full story at https:\/\/www.udayton.edu\/blogs\/udri\/18-09-13-risk-in-the-sky.php. For media requests or use of this video by your organization, please email udripr@udri.udayton.edu.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:1280px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see in the video, the researchers at the University of Dayton launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/?SearchInfo=used%2Bdji%2Bphantom%2B2%2Bready%2Bto%2Bfly&amp;sel=Item-Condition_Used-Items\">DJI Phantom 2<\/a> drone at high speed \u2013 238 miles per hour! \u2013 against an aircraft wing. This simulated the aircraft \u2013 a Mooney M20, a popular 4-seater airplane \u2013 crashing into the drone mid-flight. You were able to predict what happens next. The wing was no match for the drone. As you can see in the slo-mo segment of the video, the drone is destroyed on impact, but also destroys the wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But according to the researchers, what was even more dangerous than the external damage was the fact that the drone caused internal damage to the main spar of the wing. That means that drone crashes are even more dangerous than birds crashing into an airplane. When birds crash into an airplane they can do significant and dangerous damage to the wing; but that is often external damage, leaving the main structure of the wing intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the FAA has to say<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/uas\/\">Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)<\/a> takes airplane safety very seriously and has made a required registration program for drones, with regulations restricting flying at over 400 feet. Nevertheless, the drones themselves are often capable of flying much higher than that, putting airplanes at risk. (There\u2019s a very clear write-up of the rules for drone flying <a href=\"http:\/\/www.droneguru.net\/current-rules-for-flying-drones-and-drone-photography\/\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way of mitigating the risk, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.udayton.edu\/blogs\/udri\/18-09-13-risk-in-the-sky.php\">according to the researchers<\/a>, is to construct drones to be frangible, meaning that they break up into small pieces easily during a collision. But the most immediate way to prevent any collisions is simple \u2014 do not fly drones above the flight ceiling. These rules are here for a very good reason \u2014 most importantly, for safety \u2014 so let&#8217;s get with the program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Feature photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/c_5tdM3RifY?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Azis Pradana<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How high can you fly your drone?
