U19-3 Jet Blast Deflector

Run-up Deflector for New KC-46 Tankers

Project Details

Location: McConnell AFB
Kansas, USA
Project: Construct KC-46 Engine Run Blast Deflection
Owner: United States Air Force
Challenges:
  • Thrust rating required extremely heavy-duty structure
  • Tight conformance to applicable regulations

The USAF required a jet blast deflector suitable for running KC-46 aircraft at full power. BDI’s U-Series deflectors are widely used by Boeing, airlines, and defense forces around the world for wide-body aircraft engine run-up pads. BDI’s U-Series deflectors have been carefully designed to withstand the most extreme pressures and mass flow typical of modern high-bypass aircraft engines.
