Measure the Impact of Bird Strikes University of Ghent: measure the impact of bird strikes The University of Ghent uses GEN5i from HBM to measure the impact of bird strikes Bird strikes are being simulated in the laboratory of the Department of Applied Materials Science at the University of Ghent in order to gain insight into the consequences of bird impacts with aircraft. The collisions are set up not only to test materials and parts but also to set technical design constraints for minimising the e?ects of bird strikes. The testing facilities have been expanded now that the laboratory is going to participate in the European commission’s E- Break project. To assist in the project, the university has acquired an HBM GEN5i data recorder (meanwhile the successor model GEN7i is available), whi
