That simulated an aircraft's wing vs a drone at 238 mph. I was actually kinda surprised by the amount of damage inflicted.
- DoofusOfDeath 7y agoIf only the skin was damaged, what effect would that have on the ability to land a typical passenger jet? Also, did that simulation mostly damage just the skin, or did it also get the machinery inside the wing?
