Amazing that geese can wipe out a jet…time for some sort of upgrade in technology.

Steel grating on the front of the engines.

highly doubt that will stand up to a bird hit moving at whatever speeds a plane needs to take off

bird strikes cannot be protected again… hte amount of force of a 10lb object hitting another object going 200+ MPH at takeoff/landing speeds is insiane… and adding any sort of “protection” infront of the engines is not an option… simply avoiding is the only option
