Bird Strike in Aviation: Statistics, Analysis and Management is a comprehensive guide to preventing and minimizing damage caused by bird strike on aircraft, detailing different approaches to reducing this common and costly problem.It provides statistics and analyses for bird strikes with both civil and military helicopters as well as military fixed wing aircrafts and also provides a thorough review and analysis of all fatal bird strike accidents and most non-fatal accidents since 1905.
Numerical methods used in analysing bird strikes with different modules of fixed wing aircrafts and helicopters are also described in detail using the results of several real case studies. In addition, the necessary integration between airlines, airports and air traffic authorities to avoid or minimize bird strikes is covered. The three categories for bird strike hazard reduction, namely, awareness, bird management (active and passive control) and aircraft design are also discussed in detail.
