Chicken gun at a Rolls Royce Trent 500

Famous chicken gun used as a bird strike test for jet engines. This is taken from a Rolls Royce Trent 500 promo video. The chickens are packed in polystyrene and fired like a Sabot round. The white stuff breaking off is not ice, just polystyrene. Anyone that thinks these are frozen chickens is a fool.

The chickens are packed in a polystyrene cover and it is this that you can see peeling away from the chicken. It is basically the same principle as a 'sabot' round of artillery.

I take it the chickens all get briefed beforehand?
