Make you silly and incomprehensible! Canadian Airport Fights Birds with Machine Falcons
[NetEase smart news May 12 news] at the airport, the bird's attack will cause great losses, causing danger to the aircraft, and the consequences of the collision of birds and aircraft may even be fatal.
An airport in Canada hopes to solve this problem by using the "Robird" drone, which can imitate the flight of a falcon. This realistic Falcon drone can be used to drive birds and make them believe that they are true predators. .
Nico Nijenhuis, CEO of Clear Flight Solutions, a company that manufactures Robird drones, said: "This is a historic step for Robird and our company."
From the end of May, Robird will be put into use to scare away birds at Canada’s largest airport, Edmonton International Airport. The nearby flock will be scared off by its realistic silhouette and flapping wings. Manufacturers said that the birds would think that the predator "Falcon" was staring at them because its shape and weight were too realistic. At Dusseldorf Airport in Germany, Robird will conduct tests to protect the aircraft from take-off and landing.
Clear Flight Solutions, a subsidiary of the University of Teuente, which manufactures Robird, “is currently operating Robird in different locations, but merging it with the day-to-day maintenance of the airport is a very important step. It has been huge, and it is really great for us to formally integrate our business into the largest airport in Canada,†he said.
Robird is controlled by staff on the ground. Because of its realistic silhouette and flapping wings, nearby birds can be scared off.
At Edmonton Airport, Robird will be part of a larger drone project that will use drones to observe wildlife, inspect buildings, and perform 3D measurements.
At present, Edmonton Airport uses sound effects and lasers to drive away birds, and this existing bird control solution still has problems: Birds have begun to adapt, and they learn to fly around undisturbed. Therefore, Clear Flight Solutions has been working on how to combine Robird drones with these technologies to achieve enhanced results.
In the first three months, Robird's effectiveness will be carefully tested and optimized. In addition, the company will also negotiate with pilots and airlines, and they all need to have a thorough understanding of the robot's operating procedures. In addition, birds are also problems in agriculture, waste treatment, ports and oil, and Robird can also play a role in these industries.
Robird is driven by wings and it has been tested at the Wyci airport in Düsseldorf, Germany, to protect the plane as it takes off.
“Ecologically friendly, technologically powerful products like Robird are put into use and the impact will be enormous.†Jordan Cicoria said that he came from a Canadian company that worked with Clear Flight Solutions on the Robird project. “Applicable areas include airports, tailings ponds, wind farms, agriculture, etc. The research results show that Robird is truly effective in terms of safety, environment and economy.â€
How dangerous is a bird attack?
The author and pilot, Patrick Smith, wrote in the cockpit confidential document: "Bird airstrikes are sometimes very dangerous, especially when it comes to engines. After American Airlines Flight 1549 collided with a group of Canadian geese in 2009, Fall into the Hudson River."
In this incident, Captain Sullenberger bravely landed the A320 on the Hudson River, and after a short time after taking off, the aircraft was attacked by birds and lost its thrust.
Smith said: "Modern turbofans are more resilient, but they are relatively resistant to foreign objects, especially those high-speed rotating blades of the birds do not plug the engine, but may cause the engine blades to bend or break, resulting in power outages."
