  • well how else would we fly?

  • Almost all of these plane-bird collisions take place no greater than 5 minutes before or after a plane has landed or taken off respectively. Most of the birds that pose a threat are close to the ground and will be the greatest threat between these time periods.

    Commuter planes dont fly supersonic at all while military planes dont fly supersonic close to the ground. So infrared is probably a better option.
