Project Details
Location: Mountain Home AFB
Mountain Home, USA
Project: MHAFB QYZH-09-008 Construct Trim Pad
Customer: 82th Red Horse Squadron
Owner: United States Air Force
Challenges:
- Structure needed to be rated for high temperatures (780Ā°F/415Ā°C)
- Tight conformance to applicable regulations
The USAF required a jet blast deflector suitable for running F-15, F-16, F-22, and F-35 aircraft at full power with afterburner. BDIās GS-Series is the worldwide standard for unabated power check pads and can withstand the extreme temperatures and velocities of this application. Most US bases with fighter operations have at least one BDI GS-Series deflector.
