The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a study of bird ingestion into certain modern, large high-bypass turbofan engines. The engines under consideration were certificated to current FAA standards and are installed in A300, A310, A320, B747, B757, B767, DC10, and MD11 aircraft in commercial service worldwide. Data were collected during 1989-1991 by the principle manufacturers of such engines. Analysis of the initial 381 aircraft ingestion events is given, with emphasis on the kinds and numbers of ingested birds and the adverse effects of bird ingestion on aircraft engines and flights.
