A stupid question. Will passengers smell the burnt bird when bird strike happens? Will the smell go to cabin? I mean the bleed air that is feeded from the engine and its used for various things like pressurization.
In rare occacions, yes. Ussually the bird injested will go thru the engine bypass and never end up in the bleed system. If the bird makes his way thru the core of the engine (compression area) it will be chop like in a blender machine. once in the hot area where combustion occurs if any remains get there it will send some of the smell to the cabin via bleed system. Like you mention, bleed air goes to different areas, by the time the smell goes to the cabin it is almost decipated and almost unnoticible to pax.
I was on a flight once, a B767, we had a bird injestion to No. 2 engine, I am sure there was damage done and you could smell the crow very strongly so the bird went into the core
That’s a massively expensive bird strike haha.
