F-35 Birdstrike Test

I’ve been involved with a canopy birdstrike test and it was interesting that although the bird may not penetrate the canopy, the “shock wave” can still be a major issue. See the video below. Also note the HUD’s interaction with the impact.




The link below is a briefing given on the F-35 birdstrike tests on both canopy and inlet.
