Bird aircraft strike hazard is a serious threat for airlines all around the world. Many damages and crashes are reported by airports for bird strike. Huge amount of capital are spent for this event annually in respect of aircraft structure damages. Although bird in comparison with aircraft has very less weight, the speed of aircraft is very high that imposes a high force. The combination of velocity and mass causes the proportion of damage in an accident that called Kinetic Energy. Therefore a huge damage on the structure of aircrafts is caused by the combination of the speed and high force by bird strike. So far the current ways to prevent or reduce this event is costly. Moreover, it is impossible to avoid these accidents completely. Many useful methods have been applied that all based on physiological orientation such as bird monitoring, bird avoidance models, real time bird strike warning system and frightening techniques. However, all of these methods face with a severe problem, which is bird desensitization. In this work, the biopsychological approach is presented to help in mitigating the bird strike.
