This is the result when a quadcopter strikes the wing of an aircraft
(...the team launched a 2.1-pound DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter at the wing of a Mooney M20 aircraft...) (www.digitaltrends.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Wow, someone removed a bunch of posts and replies.
I think someone's account was revoked.
And good riddance...
Might as well have taken down the whole thread, his incivility did not negate the validity of the other posters comments that set him off.
Some of the replies were to his replies and would not make sense standing on their own. I know that mine would not have.
I was thinking about waiting for the report to come out. I contacted UDRI to see if it would be published. This is the result:

Hi Joel,
I’m sorry for the delay in responding; as you can imagine, we are getting numerous requests re this video.
Typically tests such as these are funded by an external sponsor, for whom we produce a report. In this case, the researchers did not have an external funder, and so did not produce a report. They are, however, working to find sponsors for additional tests on various aircraft structures, and will consider producing a paper that discusses multiple tests at that time.
Thank you for writing,

Dear UDRI:
After watching the Internet video of University of Dayton Impact Physics group and seeing some of the reaction to it, I have a question.
Is the study form which this video was extracted going to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. I am sure I am not the only one interested in the study design and results.
Thank you in advance,
Joel Wiley
Anyone want to set up a GOFUNDME site to pay for a report?

That is ridiculous, No blades, they just 'shot' the drone at the wing. Might as well have been a 5lb brick. "This is the result of a brick thrown at an aircraft" Please tell me this wasn't funded with public grant dollars
