What if airplanes and wind turbines had LED’s around them

you could put LEDs on the end of Wind Turbines blades

and LEDs could be placed around the cowling of the air intakes on planes

doing research onto what sort of lights/frequencies might take a bit of work to figure out

thoughts?

A jet doing 300+km/h is going to hit a bird whether the bird sees the pretty LEDs or not.

Put a cage around them, not going to stop the wind. Paint it whatever birds think hi viz is.

That may work if you think hitting a weldmesh cage at 300+km/h is a better outcome than going through the turbine… from the birds point of veiw of course, the OP read to me being about protecting the bird, not the turbine.

cage around wind turbines i think not aircraft engines.

Birds fly at 300kmh now? Birds smash into windows here when I have a door open, they think they can fly through. You hear a bang and investigate and find a stunned bird. They fly off though.

You could have an exclusion zone for birds. Would cost a bit though. Or you could have power companies to do all they can plus donate a shed load to conservation and raptor rescue services. Make the statement, the nature of our operations is that birds die so we mitigate it thus…

Build the birds an underpass.

Land bridges and underpasses are not to be laughed at. There may be a sky bridge or exclusion zone arial equivalent to be discovered.

Are you people mad?

It’s a well known fact that any form of structure that covers a wind turbine will INCREASE & CONCENTRATE the harmful AURAL WAVES that induce Wind Turbine Syndrome.

Yes, it may save the birds, but people will succumb, mark my words.

Sage!

Do you have a newsletter?

So a three then?

You have a roo shoo mounted on the aircraft that sends out a sound that birds can hear

It fans out in a cone in front if the aircraft

Strike first, use LASER.

Pfft … this is an easy one. Don’t wash them, ever, esp. the windows. Also, don’t paint them blue or white so the birds will be able to see them coming.

Nothing has worked so far, so give it a go and expect that it won’t work either.

I recently travelled on a propeller-propelled aircraft for the first time in, oh, fifteen years.

It strikes me (NPI) that there ought to be less chance that a goose would down (NPI) a prop-plane rather than a jet-plane. Would I be right?

Union action among birds is complicated by class hierarchies. Raptors are believed to maintain mob type control of union efforts although only vultures and buzzards are ever actually seen interacting at meetings. Crows oppose representation of the working class due to their religious beliefs in various forms of abstinence. Hedge birds have long been connected to the Raptors gambling networks but more contemporary families are finding entrepreneurial success in various areas. Scrub fowl continue to be ridiculed and maligned by the cockatoos, parrots and galahs……………

Wonders if a recording of screeching of birds of prey were played along the runway before planes landed or took off would work?

probably would but the raptors would definitely demand royalties and they aren’t known to forgive debts………
