And a canada goose will cause a contained failure of a CFM56 turboprop the likes of which (or equivalents) equip most B737s and A320s. The miracle on the Hudson was an A320 hitting a flock of geese on take off.
The good news is that for most passenger planes, a drone ingest would be unlikely to do more than take out an engine or smash the cockpit windows. Both severe issues but issues which an airliner can be expected to survive.
That said, a CFM56 engine costs somewhere around 5-10m dollars. So how do you find the drone's owner to bill them for it?
