The Van Nuys Airport required a jet blast deflector for a new engine run-up area. The solution was a dual-height JBD suitable for all general aviation aircraft. The project also required a perpendicular installation of a vertical blast fence to protect an aircraft parking area from taxi/breakaway thrust.
