MAVs at airports soon
Tweet
Read this in the newspaper (Deccan Herald) in the morning.Authorities are planning to use MAVs to avoid bird hits around airports.These miniature air vehicles are radio controlled.Does anyone know anything more about these planes?(The paper does not elaborate on the planes.)

I wonder if they will use an EPP Eagle
MAVs at airports soon
I always thought that would make a great platform for such things

Seeing it in person was very VERY impressive

Re: MAVs at airports soon
At Mahalakshmi, I have found the larger birds actually attacking gliders and small, electric planes.
So, they would be better off NOT using aircraft that "would resemble winged vertebrates". A noisy nitro plane (without muffler?) would be better. But I don't think it would really work. All that would happen would be the birds moving away a bit.

Re: MAVs at airports soon
Well I was at a demonstration of one of these
MAVs at airports soon
They had a speaker onboard it and could make all sorts of siren noises that could be heard quite a way away. So perhaps flying with Eagle cries, or better still distress calls from others birds it could work.
Its sort of what the BCU, bird control unit guys did when I was in the RAF, but from speakers mounted on landrovers, I think that was called SAPPHO they also fired shots that exploded amongst the birds and fired flares at them. At one airfield I was based we were right on an estuary and every evening when the birds came home in enormous numbers they would have to stop flying.
So it is a problem.
