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

Anyone want to contribute 10 bucks. --- End quote --- Possibly, but only after you have told me how you will prove and demonstrate that it works, and I agree those tests are sufficient :) |
