[QUOTE="suprPHREAK, post: 15395, member: 1505"] A bird strike wont damage rotors. This is much more damage. Everything in a drone is more dense than a bird. And to suggest that something flying illegally into the path of an aircraft means that the multimillion dollar piece of hardware needs an update is preposterous. Dont fly where you arent allowed to. The Spark likely wont cause fatal damage, but it could cause serious engine damage if ingested into a turbine. At a minimum an overhaul inspection, up to total loss in the millions of dollars. Remember that the issues here are not just safety, but the price to pay for the damage. As mentioned, those uh60 rotor blades are $300k each, and each engine is almost $800k. Engine on an airliner is $10million+. Is that worth a cool pic with your $500-1000drone? Not for me... [/QUOTE]
