1 drone with Lipo batteries weighing 4-5 lbs will certainly destroy that engine, fan blades and all. The result will be an engine shutdown, and a competent Airline Pilot will take immediate control and shut it down before it explodes and doe's damage to the airframe. I just don't get people talking about frozen chickens, or it's impact with a jet engine. If it's more than AIR IN and AIR OUT, there will be damage to any jet engine.
Large amounts of moderate sized hail can go in and out with no damage to the engines. Besides, I never claimed there would be no damage. Just that the engine would not quit when injesting a sUAV.
