146) The: possible. effect of bird strikes on various tenes 
of jet aircraft under varying conditions has been the subject of much 
controversy and little investigation. Controlled experiments should 
be conducted to determine the effects of bird ingestion on jet engines. 
If the regular use of jet aircraft at Midway is contemplated, the 
necessity of such operations should be carefully weighed against the 
possible hazards which may result. 
(7) As the use of jet aircraft increases, bird strikes are 
becoming a more acute problem the world over, Perhaps the eventual solution 
to the problem will be an engineering rather than a biological one.
