National Airline Jet Blast Deflector

National Airline: One of BDI’s First Customers

Project Details

Location: Miami-Dade International Airport
Miami, USA
Owner: National Airline
Challenges:
  • Thrust rating required extremely heavy-duty structure
  • Tight conformance to applicable regulations

The National Airlines maintenance facility in Miami had many different BDI deflectors. The most notable was the U35, which had a height of over 35’ (10.5 m). This type of deflector is still widely used today for engine run-ups of DC-10 and MD-11 aircraft.
