The effects of a collision of a Spanish Air Force transport plane with a bird are shown.

The network has images of the consequences of a collision of a military transport aircraft of the Spanish Air Force with a bird. The Spanish Air Force A400M Atlas four-engine turboprop transporter with registration number ZM409 is reported to have flown from Getafe military base near Madrid.

At the time of takeoff, a bird collided with the plane, causing very significant damage to the front of the fuselage. The photos published by the Spanish pilots on Twitter show how, in the cockpit area, the plating of a multi-ton machine is literally torn off.

At the same time, the track along the front of the hull is clearly visible, as well as the fact that a collision with a bird led to a violation of the integrity of the electrical circuits of a military transport aircraft.

Meanwhile, in the Spanish segment of social networks, injuries sustained by an airplane are being discussed quite actively.

One of the comments is from a user with the nickname Carles34:

Question from a beginner (don’t crucify me for this): if a bird can strut the skin of an airplane in this way, is the airplane really ready for a gale, sand, extreme temperatures? It is clear that speed increases the effects of a blow, but here it is somehow too much.

User nickname Gabriel:

Judging by the damage, this bird could well be a vulture weighing 10-11 kg.

As it turned out, this is the second incident in several months when the Spanish Air Force plane collides with a bird and receives serious damage. Photo after the previous case:

Crane is a Red Book bird. White crane if I’m not mistaken. This already gishpanza can be blamed for a crime against nature, genocide and other mockery of the animal world

[Shurik70]

I don’t understand HOW IS THIS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE AT ALL?
Well, it would be there on the forehead, in the wing or the motor.
But into the fuselage body! Sideways! Sliding, tangent. And such destruction! This is generally HOW?

[Tusv]

Well, our warheads do not exactly look like when a warhead rocket breaks. South American toucan it can. Did you see his beak? He is not a Red Book, he can

The Boeing Company long ago created a special cannon that fired chickens. From this cannon, they fired at their planes in order to know for sure that the plane would withstand a collision. When hit "on the forehead" the chicken is simply smeared on the glass.
By the way, with this gun there was a funny case when the carcasses of hens forgot to defrost. The plane struck right through

Simple! The bird's body is not uniform, or to put it simply, soft! That's where such damage comes from! You've probably seen the force with which, say, a bumblebee or a gadfly crashes into a car windshield? And if you increase the speed to 600 km/h and the weight of the "bumblebee" to 2-4 kg. Yes, such a "carcass" breaks through the windshield armored glass! And remains intact, but without bones, as they say, in a "bag".

A plane on takeoff 600 km does not issue

I can imagine what hypersonic anti-ship missiles do with the ship’s hull. There and warhead in FIG is not needed.

which makes hypersonic anti-ship missiles with the ship’s hull. There and warhead in FIG is not needed.

By the way, about the warhead of anti-ship missiles: at our Basalt, it is cumulative (about 50 cm in diameter. Located in the lower part of the warhead and the axis of the future jet is at an angle to the horizontal plane)

The photo clearly shows that the bird first glided over the skin, leaving only dents, until it caught on the protruding angle of attack sensor, tearing it along with a piece of skin. If she didn’t get in the way of this sensor, they would get rid of dents.

Here he is!!! Putin's cunning plan !! Personally, the Siberian Cranes sent to the GRU, and then checked the level of training, there is a video.

... a collision with a bird led to a violation of the integrity of the electrical circuits of a military transport aircraft ...

Or maybe these are wires from the "bird"?

Judging by the pictures - even birds can knock down hypersound. Geese Rome saved - in a modern interpretation.

The Russian sparrow in the titanium case was not injured.

The Russian sparrow in the titanium case was not injured.

... at least a titanium woodpecker.

[Poetry]

Or a rook. (not attack aircraft)

[Poetry]

The Spaniards shook out manure from diapers, probably?

[Rzzz]

Titanium for this is not the best material, lightweight too, not very durable. Normal steel is better, and many times cheaper.

[Poetry]

You are probably a specialist in metal science, but I dare to argue with you. In the 90s, I had a titanium montage in my car. It was very light, but so strong that I was simply amazed. What I just did not get up with her, she did not care. Unfortunately, I sold it in the park along with the car, which I sincerely regret.

[Rzzz]

Well, it’s worse that light. Shells and bullets, out of the heavier materials do, just to increase energy.
The strength characteristics of titanium are also worse, the same yield strength.
And I'm not a specialist in metal science, just a little bit of basics were taught at the time, so this is not my specialty at all.

[Poetry]

Submarine hull made of titanium. This is not an indicator? Not to mention aerospace.

[Rzzz]

When you need to look not only at strength characteristics, but at the strength/weight ratio, titanium gives some advantage. Plus, it is also low-magnetic. But this is if you do not look at the cosmic price, complexity of processing, and vulnerability to corrosion.

[Poetry]

And I did not say that the sparrow is cheap.

[Gaubvaxta]

It feels like a plane collided with a turtle in the air .....

[UVB]

The blow came in some kind of sensor, which led to a rupture of the skin. If it weren’t for him, they would have gotten away simply with a dent, especially since the bird got tangentially.

[Ryaruav]

[Piramidon]

Quote: Ryaruav

to an air pressure sensor or antenna of a radio altimeter

More like an angle of attack sensor.

Only tubes extend from the PVD, and the radio altimeter antennas are located in the lower part of the fuselage.

From LDPE, only tubes leave

A heating ??
By the way, maybe in one case another sensor is mounted, such as outboard temperature.

I agree. Forgot the materiel. There was a single-pin connector. But here it is clearly not PPD. And the shadow of the "flag" is visible.

[tralflot1832]

Armored Sterkh! I swear to my mother! But seriously, it’s without consequences. Lucky in a good sense. If I’m not mistaken, the pilots over the Andes saw a condor at 9000 meters. The birds also want to fly and you can’t forbid them. And so classic: I’m sorry for the bird !!!

[AU Ivanov.]

I saw geese at 5500.

[tralflot1832]

At one time I flew a lot for work. On the IL 86 in Cape Verde I ate locusts in droves during takeoff. I always sat by the lumik, it was interesting. On the Tu 154 I got the crew and stewardesses to let me steer. You know, they let me. They invited me into the cockpit to the left seat. I sat down and they said steer. I was just stunned by the view. I actually held the control column for a while. I was joking about how many watches you have; how do you figure them out? After an intermediate landing in Malta with a crew change, they played a joke on me again. But that's another story.

Geese fly through the Himalayas.
And there are about 8000.
Plus or minus.

A paraglider friend in Andorra once had a case when, at 2000 m, he was ... spoiled by a condor dome. Until now, I have not managed to remove it.

Cumulative penguin? But they don’t seem to fly.

Well, he was not in Russia faced with this woodpecker. And then the pilot would be issued a fine of 50 thousand.

[agoran]

In the first photo, everything is clear. A fairly large bird got into an external sensor and, as a result, turned a piece of skin.
According to the second photo, judging by the cellular honeycombs, there is a fairing from a composite, so that there is nothing surprising here.

[sergo1914]

Judging by the photo, the bird is white. Guys jumped from the article for racism.

So far no one has blamed Russia?
Strange.
The virus has slowed down the speed of making the "right" decisions.

Aggressive Russian birds disable NATO aircraft.
Somewhere like that.

Well, the fairing of the chassis is cellular, but the nose of the fuselage! Lumina is not thicker than a can of Coca Cola !!

On our island. Russian hosts the WEF summit. Su-27 flights take place at low altitude before and during the summit. At the same time, people are launching quadcopters. looking at all this disgrace I stand and think: "we need to get out of here ...". Sorry for the pilots. If only they knew how to take risks.
