crunchy bird ingestion

doubtless it's been said but in light of recent posts, bears repeating

the gears and rare earth magnets in drone motors are hard and will wreak havoc with turbine blade tip clearance..

A friend of mine worked on bird ingestion for P&W decades ago. He basically sharpened the first stage blades so they'd shred the bird and it could pass on through like the mostly water substance that a bird is.
There's no gears in a seagull.


Abuse a freedom and you'll lose it.
If th a-holes leep this up all their drones will be cellphone equipped , continuously broadcasting their owner's name and location .
