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. BDIās U-Series deflectors are widely used by Boeing, airlines, and defense forces around the world for wide-body aircraft engine run-up pads. BDIās U-Series deflectors have been carefully designed to withstand the most extreme pressures and mass flow typical of modern high-bypass aircraft engines.
