How Much Damage? (part 2)
There has been much discussion in these forums about RC aircraft and near misses with commercial airliners and questioning of how much damage could a 60 sized RC airplane 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, 60 size airplane at approximately 4 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.
