Second,it establishes recommended design criteria for future aircraft,particularly those involved in high speed-low level training missions. The methods used in the study were primarily that of collecting,examining,and selecting pertinent data from a multitude of sources on birds and their behavior aircraft/bird incidents,and aircraft design criteria. Procedures are proposed for USAF aircraft designed to inadequate or no bird impact requirements. Of particular value are avoidance and alleviation techniques for reduction of the inviting bird environment surrounding airports,improved use of radar and other mechanical devices to predict/determine the presence of dangerous bird and/or flock sizes. Recommended design criteria for subsequent design of windshields/canopies and support structure are presented. (Modified author abstract) 收起
