"Of course they don't, the test cell is designed to observe events that would represent many scenarios, including a worst case. Since volkswagens aren't likely to be found at cruising altitude, they just use frozen turkeys"

A mil-spec bird is un-frozen, perhaps they do something different with commercial birds. Lockheed used the infamous "chicken gun" to test the single piece canopy of the F-16 a few years back, mil-spec chicken (un-frozen, with feathers,feet head and legs) shot out of a steam powered cannon to velocities of 500 miles an hour. It's unbeliveable how much damage can occur from one bird.

I love it. Mil-spec turkey. You are KILLING me! Tears are aflowin'.

I would pay good money to get my hands on one of those cannons!

Who would be safe with me, Lumberjack, roaming the neighborhood with a MilSpec Chicken Chucker Mk I? Criminals beware!
