During Takeoffs and Landings there is a high risk which can be encountered by the pilots and the aircraft due to the birds flying around the vicinity of the airport that cannot be predicted quickly. Bird strike is a most predominant during take-off and landing of aircraft or near the airport. A tiny bird that got struck in the engine can result in a loss of a huge aircraft. These birds can cause damage by moving along the flight’s path and strike the engine and other parts. The bird strike scenarios have been encountered on numerous occasions, leading to severe disasters and losses. To overcome this issue, we have developed a bird repeller and deterrent system. This system comprises of three ultrasonic sensors, Arduino board, a relay, DC motor and a high velocity water pump. Ultrasonic sensors sense the bird’s presence along flights path and if found any, it sends the signal to Arduino board. Relay connected to Arduino board receives the signal and transmits it to dc motor and water pump. Based on the direction in which sensor has positioned the bird’s presence, high velocity water jet is sprayed. Ultrasonic water jet bird repellents that are simple to install, extremely low-profile, & highly effective system are mounted on the aircraft. This technology is eco-friendly, remain safe to birds and human beings. High velocity water jet spray ensures that it hits hard on the bird and helps in repelling it away from the flights path.
