چکیده
Aircraft repeatedly prove that birds and aircraft cannot occupy the same airspace at the same time. In an average year about 3000 birdstrikes cause 50-80 million US dollars in damage to USAF aircraft. To the worldwide aviation fleet this problem is estimated to cost more than three billion US dollars per year. Factors for consideration in establishing birdstrike resistance requirements, and in validating compliance with these requirements are presented. Also presented are some emerging technologies that can be used to greatly reduce the number of birdstrikes, especially with flocks of birds and with large individual birds. These emerging technologies combine aero-science and bio-science to lower the frequency of birdstrikes.

متن کاملThe Costs of Bird Strikes and Bird Strike Prevention
Collisions between birds (and other wildlife) and aircraft are known to cause substantial losses to the aviation industry in terms of damage and delays every year. Techniques exist to control bird numbers on airfields and hence to reduce the number of wildlife strikes, but they are applied at widely different levels from airport to airport. Some of this variation may be due to differing levels ...
متن کاملA Protocol for Bird Strike Risk Assessment at Airports
In order for airports to manage the bird strike risk effectively, a risk assessment process needs to be carried out to identify the major hazards at the airport, the levels of risk that they produce, and the most cost effective means of reducing that risk. Despite the fact that bird controllers, managers and consultants make informal bird strike risk assessments throughout their working lives, ...
متن کاملApparent Efficacy of Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard Programs at Four Naval Air Stations
The Department of the Navyimplemented its present mandatory bird-aircraft strike reporting system in 1981. Reported bird-aircraft strikes have increased each year, presumably due to increased awareness and compliance with regulations. Four Naval air stations implementing birdaircraft strike hazard reduction programs in 1984 reported 57-78% fewer strikes in 1984 than in 1983.
متن کاملUtility of DNA barcoding for identification of bird-strike samples from India
Bird strikes usually occur due to the entry of aircraft into the bird layer, i.e. the region up to which birds fly in the sky and are common during landing or takeoff 1. Along with the financial losses, bird strike also reduces the mission capability of the crew, loss of flying hours, permanent damages to the aircraft and importantly , it is always associated with the risk of mortality 2–6. The...
