Abstract:From May 1981 to June 1983, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center
conducted a detailed study of bird ingestions into large high bypass ratio turbine
aircraft engines. The worldwide study covered over 2.7 million operations by 1,513
aircraft consisting of the DCS, DC10, B747, B757, B767, A300, A310, and L10ll. The
objective of this study was to determine the numbers, weights, and species of birds
being ingested into these engines and determine what engine damage, if any, resulted.
This report presents the findings of this study.
