In order to tackle the risk of
drones colliding with aircrafts, The European Aviation Safety Agency-EASA(https://www.easa.europa.eu) has
set up a task force to control this hazard.
The task force will study different
vulnerabilities on aircraft, such as outer frames, windshields and engines, as
well as all different kinds of aircraft, including large and small planes helicopters
if the need exists. EASA may perform actual tests for collisions between drones
and aircraft, which would probably mean launching drones at stationary aircraft
at certain speeds, rather than flying aircraft into drones, the agency said.
In April, a British Airways plane
hit an object while approaching an airport and the pilot said he believed it
was a drone. It turns out the object may not have been something else. Sometimes
what was thought to be drone ended up being another object, however it is worth
looking at this, says EASA spokesperson.
The more drones become popular
around the world, regulations and safety testing has become a necessity,
including the need to register drones of certain sizes with the U.S. government.
