What is the weight of an Eagle when it is flying at its highest at top most speed?

Question

A small bird can bring a huge aircraft down when hit in the air that means that they must be gaining in weight as they go up.

Answer 1

The weight of an eagle will
remain the same.

But the impact
of its' crash with aeroplane and
its' speed determines the impact
in terms of tonnage.

It is believed that an eagle
weighing 5 kg can create an
impact of 5 tonnes hit to an
aeroplane flying at a take
off/landing height and speed of 300
kmph..

This is good for a boeing
to crash in the sky.

Answer 2

it's not the fact that they gain weight it is just that when a bird flies into an aircraft engine they can rip it to pieces and cause it to stop working. This is called "bird strike" this is all to do with the fact that the aircraft is going fast in the direction of the bird, the same thing could happen with something much lighter.
as for the weight of an eagle it depends upon the species and sex if the eagle, we have a male of an average flying weight of 6-7 pounds, the female flys at about 14 pounds.

Answer 3

The eagles weight does not change in flight. Rather than it being a factor of mass, it is a factor of kinetic energy that is the answer to your question.

KE = 1/2 * m * v^2

where m = mass
where v^2 = velocity squared

It is the energy expended in the collision that causes the damage. An adult eagle generally weighs from 4 to 7 kg. Like I said, it's weight does not change in flight, just its energy. A mid-air collision between a bird and a plane will usually not be detrimental to the aircraft. Most times that there have been problems is when the bird has gone through the windshield of the plane and caused injury to the pilots, or has coused severe damage to internal compnents in the cockpit.

Hope that helps some.
