collision between airliner and a bird

These assumptions made in this calculation:
Head on collision
Bird is riding with the airliner after the collision
Bird’s velocity is negligible compared to that of the airliner
Total time taken to crush the bird (estimated impact time) = Length of the bird / Speed of the airliner
Impulsive applied to the bird

Useful conversion you may need in this kind of problem

Force
1 lb = 4.45 N
1 N = 1 kg m s-2
1 N = 105 dyne = 0.225 lb

Mass
1 kg = 2.20 lb (where g = 9.8 ms-2)

Speed
1 mi/h = 1.47 ft/s = 1.61 km/h = 0.447 m/s
1 km/h = 0.278 m/s = 0.621 mi/h = 0.911 ft/s

Length
1 ft = 30.5 cm
1 m = 3.28ft
1 mi = 5280 ft = 1.61 km
1 km = 0.621 mi

( mi = mile, ft = feet, km = kilo meter, m = meter, h = hour, s = second )
