Uh well their estimated time of 1.87 million years per incident seems a little off doesn’t it? How long have drones been around? We already have one confirmed incident regarding a drone causing damage to a manned aircraft (something you keep denying will happen, or is a cause for concern). I believe the damage estimate was somewhere of 275k+.
My point being that a drone strike to a manned aircraft will in fact cause damage and simply not bounce off like you believe.
There have now been 3 studies shown to you along with one real incident, and you still are in complete denial.
Now you are putting words in my mouth. Every study and every simulation is flawed when it is based upon mathematical models, instead of actual collision data. I stated earlier that one could come up with any result one desired. Every assumption can be challenged. Every premise can be questioned. Two people looking at the exact same data could come to entirely different conclusions.
People keep citing these studies as proof. They are nothing of the sort. They are mere speculation and projections of what could happen.
I never said a drone couldn't cause damage to a manned aircraft. It is highly unlikely, and the risk of injury or death to persons is even less likely.
I agree with your point that a drone strike to a manned aircraft
can cause damage, but that does not mean that it will, or that it is the most likely result.
All three studies have demonstrated how unlikely it is. The single confirmed report of a collision proves the point that the risk of injury and death from such a collision is minimal, as the helicopter with all that described damage still landed safely, and no one was injured and no one died.
Drones don't belong in NFZ's for good reasons, any more than flocks of large birds should be roosting at airport runways. However, the birds are considered an acceptable risk to flight. The rare drone in an NFZ is also an acceptable risk which is to be minimized, just like birds are removed from flight paths and airports, to minimize the risk they pose.
