Better Humans Lab on Instagram: "How do you test if a jet engine can survive a bird strike? You build a "Chicken Gun." It is a compressed-air cannon designed to fire a freshly thawed chicken at a plane windshield at 400 mph. Scientists have strict rules: The chicken must be thawed. If it’s frozen, it acts like a rock and punches straight through the metal. High-tech aerospace engineering is basically just throwing poultry at expensive glass."
