ThorFlight Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Interesting paper/video of an experiment that had a 2.1 lb. DJI drone impact an M20 wing at 238 MPH. https://www.udayton.edu/blogs/udri/18-09-13-risk-in-the-sky.php It gives a dramatic demonstration of what could happen, but seems unlikely in real world ops given their respective profiles. A Regardless, they claim significant damage to the spar after penetration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the good news in a situation similar to this is that the Feds will have the serial number of the drone since it's implanted within the wing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
