I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I see there is call for investigation on the effect of a drone impact. Stupid knee jerk, so many variables - size, speed, accidentally or deliberate, point of impact etc etc.

Obviously large enough drone though a particular engine on a twin engine aircraft could be critical. Small drone might even be blown off before impact.

I liked the film, Dutch I think, with falcons trained to take drones down, and anti-drone missiles to catch them.
