Birdstrike 1

[SlipperyPete]

I have an empirical formula developed by the RAE for calculating the equivalent static loading from a birdstrike. The report details are:

The Design of Leading Edge and Intake Wall Structures to Resist Bird Impact
Report No. RAE TR72056

I have not been able to obtain a copy of this report and wondered if anyone else on this forum has a copy?

Many thanks.

I assume you've tried contacting DSTL, Qinetiq and whoever else inherited the mantel from RAE?

look for thread2-353576 in "aircraft engineering" ... search "aircraft engineering" for "birdstrike"

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?
