Bird Deflection Technology/Bird Strike Testing/Antenna Systems

Birdstriker™ is a patent-pending Bird Deflection Technology and has passed FAA Bird Strike Testing.It provides a unique solution to aircraft by protecting large antenna radomes from bird strikes.Recently, the FAA clarified the existing regulation on bird-strike stating that existing radomes are now in bird-strike territory making them subject to more stringent regulation.Airlines now have to retrofit current radomes or remove them until a solution is found.Installing Birdstriker™ to an aircraft will immediately make the existing radome design compliant with the new bird strike regulations.The existing alternative to Birdstriker™ is a redesign that is over engineered and heavier with a lengthy installation time making it more expensive. Birdstriker™ actually improves aerodynamic loads, local dynamic pressure, and local Mach number on current radomes.Ultimately, Birdstriker™ is a low cost solution to satisfy the FAA regulation and is simple and quick to install, usually in one shift.
