Vocabulary: Bird Strikes & Wildlife

Flashcards on this page

This page includes a 13-card interactive flashcard deck. Here’s a taste:

• flock — A group of birds flying together. Flying through a flock greatly raises the risk of multiple strikes.
• ingest / ingestion — A jet engine sucks a bird (or another object) into itself, which can damage the engine badly.
• fan blades — The curved metal blades at the front of a jet engine that pull air in — often damaged in a bird strike.

Members study all 13 cards — flip, shuffle and star them, and review each one with spaced repetition on the Study dashboard, timed for just before it fades.
