Bird strike is an important technical problem to be solved during design and implementation of new aircraft types within the scope of the strategy on maintain the reliability and flight safety. Early removal of engines due to birds ingestion breaks flight regularity, and result in additional loading of manufacturing and overhaul plants with repair, which finally result in spending additional funds for damage removal caused by flight incident. In addition, damage of the engine blades reduces the reliability and safety. Important factors related to birds ingestion have been analyzed as well as engine blade bird proof analysis techniques have been considered.

Key words: engine blade bird proof, birdstrike, blade, full scale test, Computer Aided Design.
