How much damage?
There has been much discussion in these forums about quad copters and near misses with commercial airliners and questioning of how much damage could a quad cause to an airliner. For this poll let’s consider an airliner at approach speed on final about 7 miles out at 2500ft. A typical, well equipped Quad copter at approximately 2 lbs. is ingested in one of the turbofan engines. Would there be:
A: No damage
B: Minor damage not causing a loss of power
C: Major damage causing loss of power and/or possible engine shut down.
