A jet blast deflector (JBD) or blast fence is a safety device that redirects the high energy exhaust from a jet engine to prevent damage and injury. The structure must be strong enough to withstand heat and high speed air streams as well as dust and debris carried by the turbulent air. [ 1 ]
A muzzle shroud, linear compensator, blast shield, forward blast diverter or concussion reduction device (CRD) is a sleeve (either circular or otherwise) that attaches to and extends beyond the muzzle of a firearm in order to redirect some of the noise and concussion, or shock wave, from the muzzle blast forward and away from the shooter, and ...
An Airbus A380 deploying thurst reverser while landing, blowing water from the wet surface and making the reversed air flow observable.. Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's thrust for it to act against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration.
The part that provides reverse thrust for thrust reversal is the deflector doors ("bucket") with aerodynamic contour on both inner and outer surface at the tailpipe of a jet engine. The doors are in a deployed location when thrust reversal takes effect and at stowed location when otherwise.
A fragment also punctured the centerline external fuel tank of A-4 #310, positioned just aft of the jet blast deflector of catapult number 3. The resulting fire was fanned by 32- knot (59 km/h; 37 mph) winds and the exhaust of at least three jets.
A blast pen and memorial at the former RAF Kenley A Hawker Hurricane in a revetment at RAF Wittering in 1940. A blast pen was a specially constructed E-shaped double bay at British Royal Air Force (RAF) Second World War fighter stations, being either 150 ft (46 m) or 190 ft (58 m) wide and 80 ft (24 m) front-to-back, accommodating aircraft for safe-keeping against bomb blasts and shrapnel ...
The ATF Dingo has a modular design with five elements: chassis, protection cell, storage space, engine compartment, and bottom mine blast deflector. Its design is lighter and includes an armored chassis with a blast pan instead of the more common monocoque hull found in modern blast resistant vehicles.
It features a new "steel plated" design and incorporates water pipes for sound suppression. [ 1 ] A flame deflector , flame diverter or flame trench is a structure or device designed to redirect or disperse the flame, heat, and exhaust gases produced by rocket engines or other propulsion systems.
