OSAKA, Mar 02 (News On Japan) –
A brand new system, referred to as ‘Bird Sonic,’ has been put in at Kansai Airport, emitting high-frequency sound waves that birds dislike, successfully driving them away earlier than colliding with plane.
Bird strikes, which happen when birds collide with plane, can result in delays, cancellations, and even main accidents. Until now, employees have been patrolling and firing blanks or utilizing loudspeakers to intimidate birds as countermeasures.
Kansai Airport Co., Ltd. plans to put in two items of the ‘Bird Sonic’ system across the runways at every of Kansai, Kobe, and Itami airports as a measure to deal with employees shortages. The effectiveness of the units will probably be evaluated over the approaching yr.
