We Fire Chickens at an Ascalon Propeller (For Safety)

What happens when a carbon propeller meets a flying chicken... at extreme speed? This is not a joke. This is a bird trike test. To validate the structural integrity and safety of our carbon propellers, we use a chicken gun, a 9-meter-long steel cannon designed to launch a calibrated gelatin projectile (equivalent to a bird) at high velocity directly into the propeller. Why? Because in aviation, safety is proven, not claimed. This test allows us to: Simulate real bird strike scenarios Analyze impact behavior at operational speeds Validate materials, layups, and energy absorption Push our designs beyond certification requirements Yes, it looks spectacular. Yes, it's a bit absurd. But behind the flying chicken is serious engineering, rigorous testing, and one clear goal: making aviation safer. Welcome to the side of aviation you rarely get to see. 🔧Test performed by engineers and technicians 🧪Real test setup, no CGI 🐔Gelatin bird projectile (no animals harmed) If you enjoy discovering what really happens behind certified aviation components, you're in the right place.
