Why Aircrafts Undergo Chicken Gun Tests

Imagine planes flying really fast, sometimes birds can get in the way.

To make sure planes are safe, engineers use a special cannon called a chicken gun.

This gun shoots dead chickens at plane parts, like the engines and windows, at super-fast speeds.

They do this to see if the plane can handle hitting a bird without breaking.

If a bird hits the engine, it can cause problems, so these tests help make sure planes can still fly safely.

Every airplane has to pass this test before it's allowed to fly, keeping everyone safe in the air!
