Mr Pax: Quote: "As a simple pax it is with trepidation that I ask this question,
Is it not possable to have some sort of mesh screen in front of the engine intakes to stop large objects from being sucked in, large enough mesh to allow airflow and small birds but small enough to stop large objects like geese, swans and maintenance engineers ect.?"

Birds can do a lot of damage. Would a wiremesh have stopped this ?


Get your coat Mr Pax
