For many decades the University of Dayton Research Institute has been at the forefront of aircraft destructive impact testing for the purpose of improving aircraft design and safety. Historically much of this testing has been focused on quantifying damage resulting from bird strike events but now important data is being collected on what actually happens when a commonly available drone strikes an aircraft at cruising speeds.
With millions of drones now out in the wild this data will help answer questions regarding a manned aircraft’s ability to survive a direct impact from a drone and how this may differ from bird impact damage. Hopefully such data will emphasize the need to educate all drone owners why flying near airports and above 400 feet can create a significant hazard to passenger aircraft. Hobbyists and recreational drone owners pose the greatest risk due to being unfamiliar with guidelines for safely operating drones in the National Airspace.
The risk to aircraft safety posed by birds will without question continue to dwarf any risks posed by drones due to their exponentially larger number in the skies above. Click on the link below for details regarding how this groundbreaking testing was conducted.

Apparently yes it is dangerous but, drones do have maximum altitude limit so that it will not be risky for the manned aircraft to fly out there. If only people will sincerely follow the rules, the more they follow the rules the safer it is for both manned un-manned aircraft to fly in the sky.
Rules are rules and it is implemented in order to be followed. The most dangerous there is when the drone sucked up in the propeller of the plane. Electronic component to an electronic component will result in a big blast that will totally destroys the Prop of the plane that would end into a plane crash.
Technically speaking the propellers will explode because of the sucked drone. This can totally cause a plane crash.
