Hit 2 geese tonight on the interstate at 85mph

To the unknowing, one would think that those two 35,000 lbf thrust GE turbofan engines could easily eat some geese and keep chuggin' along. Those geese however are monsters and are tough as nails. Plus, you get a bunch of them together, some weighing nearly 15 lbs each with a 70" wingspan and destruction can be catastrophic.

Not when you have such thin blades in the various stages of the GE or Rolls Royce or P&W or CFM or IAE engines. They are tough engines, but not that tough. Not even the 115,000 lbs of thrust from the GE 90s on the 777. Da blades are da weak link. They can handle things up to about 7-8 pounds and then.. oi.
