Why Engineers Shoot Chickens Into Jet Engines ๐Ÿ”โœˆ๏ธ

Engineers really shoot dead chickens into jet engines. From a cannon. At about 370 km/h. If the engine blows apart or breaks, it fails. If it survives, then it's ready to fly.
This is chicken cannon testing โ€” the real way aircraft makers simulate a bird strike . A bird hits a jet engine and obliterates the blades, so engines must survive the impact to get certified. The test fires a chicken at speed to replicate a bird strike event like the one that made "Miracle on the Hudson" famous.

Why 370 km/h? Because that's roughly the speed a bird slams into a jet at takeoff or cruise. If the fan blades shatter, the intake fails, the engine fails, and the plane doesn't fly. GE, Rolls-Royce, and others run this exact test. It's a cold, brutal, real jet engine test with zero CGI โ€” just meat, velocity, and a turbine.
