The nose cone of passenger jets would have to be fairly thing / weak I guess? Because that's where the forward-looking radar is right?
If a bird hit anywhere else on the plane the cross sectional area of the impact zone would be fairly small in comparison to the nose cone, and probably a fair bit stronger, so we could probably expect to see less damage on a wing or tail fin as at 700 odd kilometers per hour the bird would probably be cut in two by the leading edge of a wing or tail fin?
I'm not aircraft engineer, though.
