In wonder at what angle big stone hails with their mass hit the inclined windscreens together with those bouncing of the upper nose looking at the dents on the upper nose section. I wonder do manufactures test this in simulation. I know R.R. throw chickens into their engines on the test rig.
Take fast jets, especially the old types, their thick windscreen on a clear day were hard to see through let alone bad weather night conditions on landing after a sortie that filled the inside of the cockpit with brown pasta….those where ‘calculated’ for birth strikes.
Would the AAIB have anything on file?
