details- details- A careful check will reveal the particulars- as to just how much frozen the birds, turkeys, etc were at time of launch/firing- I did not fbeleive it was necessary to define/explain the exact test parameters. And birds have been found to impact jets at altitudes well over 15,000 feet.
My point was to SIMPLY explain the test used to detrmine design parameters, I'm sure the FAA an various wildlife protection agencies can explain why chickens and turkeys instead o geese, etc.
