Purported to be a true story.....
Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets all travelling at maximum velocity.
The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields. Engineers from "across the water" heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to them.

When the gun was fired,
the engineers stood shocked as the chicken shot out of the barrel, crashed into
the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control
console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two and embedded itself in
the back wall of the cabin like an arrow shot from a bow..
The horrified engineers sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions.
