How does an Engineer anticipate every single failure mode possible?
If we took the latest greatest best designed and engineered aircraft built....could we let come up with new failure modes?
Helicopters have a lot of plastic or glass in the front ends....that always makes them targets for failure post Bird Strikes.
Do we improve the certification standards to withstand Condor impacts or do we limit them to Bald Eagles or Red Tailed Hawks or four pound frozen Chickens?
Just what were the odds of that particular bird hitting that exact spot on that particular day, location, and instant?
US Air had an Air Bus go into the Hudson a while back and that is a very big airplane with two very capable engines.....do we go to three or four engines on all airliners now?
