Groundbreaking Handbook Offers Detailed Research and Valuable
Methodology to Address Dangerous and Costly Aviation Hazard Though
annual damages from bird and bat collisions with aircraft have been
estimated at $400 million in the United States and up to $1.2
billion in commercial aviation worldwide and despite numerous
conferences and councils dedicated to the issue, very little has
been published on this expensive and sometimes-lethal flying risk.
Bird Strike in Aviation seeks to fill this gap, providing a
comprehensive guide to preventing and minimizing damage caused by
bird strike on aircraft. Based on a thorough and comprehensive
examination of the subject, Dr. El-Sayed offers different
approaches to reducing bird strikes, including detailed coverage of
the three categories necessary for such reduction, namely,
awareness/education, bird management (active and passive control),
and aircraft design. In addition, the text discusses the importance
of cooperation between airplanes, airports and air traffic
authorities as well as testing methods necessary for certification
of both aircraft frame and engine. Other notable features include:
Statistics and analyses for bird strikes with both civil and
military helicopters as well as military fixed wing aircrafts,
including annual costs, critical flight altitudes, critical parts
of aircraft, distance from air base and specifics of date and
timing Thorough review and analysis all fatal bird strike accidents
and most non-fatal accidents since 1905, the first book to provide
such a reference The use of numerical methods in analyzing historic
data (ex. probability functions, finite element methods for
analyzing impact on aircraft structure, experimental measurement
technique for displacement, vibration, component distortion, etc.)
Instruction on identification of bird species (using visual,
microscopic, and DNA evidence) and details of bird migration to aid
air traffic control in avoiding scenarios likely to result in
collision With its wealth of statistical data, innovative research,
and practical suggestions, Bird Strike in Aviation will prove a
vital resource for researchers, engineers and graduate students in
aerospace engineering/manufacturing or ornithology, as well as for
military and civilian pilots and flight crew or professionals in
aviation authorities and air traffic control.
