Direct and oblique impacts from bird and drone are modelled on the engine of a modern short take-off and landing aircraft for On-Demand Air Mobility using high fidelity user defined modeling and analysis. Results from the impacts are analyzed and compared to investigate the damage and vibration instability of the aircraft engine to establish new analysis strategies and airworthiness criteria.
