    A pigeon size and maybe a smaller bird can come through the window of a plane. Keep the drones below 400FT, and no closer than 5 miles from an airport please.

    Or something bigger, like the "55 lb" drone, obviously?

    Even a duck against a fullly aluminum wing creates some impressive damage.

    If I took a drone that size to the prop, landing gear or windshield while I was at full cruise speed I would have an immediate emergency situation.

    It's the speed the planes are moving, more than the weight of the drone. 150-220mph impact speed depending on the small plane, even,if the drone is still.
