in the beginning today , a British Airways fender on approach to London Heathrow said that he thought he collided with a drone . It ’s the incubus pilots ( and drone operators ) venerate the most , but accord to British Airways , the sheet did n’t get a scratch .
The Airbus A320 was flying from Geneva , Switzerland , to London Heathrow . The airplane pilot report an object hitting the front of the plane , although it does n’t appear to have caused any damage . A British Airways voice state : “ Our aircraft landed safely , was full canvas by our locomotive engineer and it was net to mesh its next flight . ”
The constabulary are inquire the incident , but no arrests have been made yet . In the UK , flying a drone near an aerodrome is an offence punishable by up to five year in prison .
A bourdon clash with a passenger aircraft is the inviolable high-risk - guinea pig scenario , something that the FAA in the States has been warning of for years , and taking step to prevent . But what would actually find if a normal consumer drone hit an aircraft has always been unclear .
Research suggeststhat drone being take up into the locomotive engine would only result in injury 0.2 percent of the time . That ’s not to say everyone should fly their drone near airports to get some sick photos — it ’s still slow as netherworld — but that perhaps a drone hitting a planing machine wo n’t result in instant decease for all involved .
