That wouldn't surprise me at all. Windscreens for airliners have been
tested for years by launching frozen chickens at them from cannon. I wonder if they still do that. Actually, they _thaw_ the chickens first. The story you heard is a joke, not an accurate description. It takes eight hours to change out a 747 windscreen and clean out the cockpit after hitting a snow goose, by the way. Does that include the time to clean the pilots trousers? Here's what unthawed birds do to the fuselage. It was a 4 day field trip Paris, did'nt see much of Paris except the ramp. Patched it up, flew it unpressurized and stiff legged all the way back to AFW. http://www.geocities.com/afwjr/767.html |
