When the T.F. Green International Airport in Providence, Rhode Island required a fiberglass jet blast deflector to be installed at the end of a runway, BDI responded by offering an all-fiberglass version of their standard G14M deflector. The result is a curved, aerodynamically efficient, proven design that safely protects a public roadway from jet blast created by departing aircraft. BDI’s fiberglass design has been flight-tested with FAA aircraft, which certified that the fiberglass design is invisible to critical NAVAIDs.
