This paper is devoted to investigating the collision severity of generalized UAVs impacting aircraft engines. The peak impact force and fracture of the CFM56 engine blades were evaluated using FEM and Explicit Dynamics simulations on ABAQUS. In this study, Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) analysis w...
