Aren't planes designed to be safe if an engine fails, as an engine failure could happen at any time...?

it isn't just engines, though that would be bad enough. 



1:50 in or so, note this test was as a much lower speed than a large commercial plane on landing or take-off plus a smaller off-the-shelf drone.  Given the damage to the battery pack on impact, and the fuel tanks in the wings, a ruptured LiPo from the drone inside the wing could be quite an event.

Possibly, but only after you have told me how you will prove and demonstrate that it works, and I agree those tests are sufficient :)

Not all 'drones' run batteries  ;) Modified 20cc 4stroke model aircraft engine on spark ignition instead of glow plug for better efficiency.
