How do birds react to light?

If jet engines had coloured lights in their very centre and also around the casing?

Would moving / flashing colored LEDs work, would UV light work? Would alternating patterns on each engine work etc?

Would giant eyes that light up work?

Would it be enough to signal the birds to move away?

Have any tests been done using light over the colour spectrum?

Just wondering about bird strike.

I doubt birds have much of a chance against an aircraft doing a few hundred k’s an hour.

less air traffic is the answer

there should be a limit on fuel burned by airplane traffic

one of the genius idea by the lady, comes up quite often here

With big lit up eyes coming towards you, Id move out of the way.

It takes like 4 seconds for a plane to move one kilometre. The birds do not have much time to react.

Arent bird strikes more dangerous while the air plane is taking off at a slower speed?

How long does it take birds to get out of the way at take off speeds?

even at take off they are still doing 250kph+

ok.

There are specific bird species that are worst for airstrike. In Australia, I have heard which but can’t remember exactly. Not ibis, which are commonly found around airports. Some other large flocking birds. Not smaller birds like seagulls, cockatoos and crows (IIRC). Ducks perhaps.

Maybe if different drones can be identified perhaps different birds could be identified?

If different birds have different behaviours maybe that could be looked at?

have you one a search for anything on bird strikes at airports? Maybe you would learn something if you did.

Engines blow up, some catch fire, large dents in the fuselage, large holes, cracks, electrical problems , loss of aircraft, loss of human life etc

Many dead birds.

Some people want preventive measures looked at but get told off.

I will stop thinking about impossible things that cant be done. Let other people do it.

Im going to listen to some music

How they minimise bird strike events at Vancouver airport.

FO with your victim shit. Like I told you, go look at what is actually being done in the field so you have some idea.
