Frontier Airplane struck a person today and reports are mixed but some say the person was brought into the jet engine while the plane was moving down the runway. Assuming the body was approx 200pounds- what’s the math of something like this happening while the plane is “standing” or not yet moving down the runway but about to vs if it’s already traveling to take off.
