Well, I do applaud you for trying, but then you fell down on the job with these responses about bird strikes:

You really ought to do some research on the topic.
Since you are so knowledgeable about bird strikes (and I am not, apparently), why didn't you go the extra step and type in to your response, a few reasons why it is impossible to design an engine that can survive a bird strike?
By throwing out those lines above but offering no contrary data, you come off as making a typical internet boast.

Assuming you know so much about the topic, you ought to be able to enlighten the rest of us in just a few lines - I'm not asking for pages of data, but the onus is on you to show why a bird-strike-proof engine is completely impossible (or at least very difficult to engineer - so difficult that the expense would be prohibitive).
