the fowled experiment scientists at NASA have developed a gun built specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields. british engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. arrangements were made. but when the gun was fired, th…

NASA CHICKEN CANON NASA engineers build a cannon that launches dead chickens at the windshields of airplanes, military jets and such to test the strength of the windshields against collisions with airborne fowl. British engineers are eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains. Arrangements are made, and a cannon is sent to the British engineers. When the cannon goes off, the engineers stand shocked as the chicken crashes into the shatterproof shield, smashes it to smit…

NASA CHICKEN CANON NASA engineers build a cannon that launches dead chickens at the windshields of airplanes

Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically for launching dead chickens at the windshields of civilian airplanes, jet fighters and the space shuttle, all travelling at maximum velocity. The idea was to simulate the frequent collisions with airborne fowl and to test the strength of the windshields in such situations. British engineers heard about the special gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains. So it was arranged that one of the guns should be sent to t…
