BNEA:

If they hit an aircraft would anyone notice anyway ?
The answer is yes, they may notice.

- If a drone is ingested by a turbojet the armatures and permanent magnets of the drone motors may be solid enough to start a cascading compressor blade failure.

- If a drone hits the windscreen of a GA aircraft it could cause catastrophic windscreen failure.

- If one touched my AIrmaster propeller with its beautiful Whirlwind blades I would cry.
