Jet blast deflectors began to appear at airports in the 1950s.

Two of four jet blast deflectors were enlarged to accommodate the Tomcat.

During the maintenance period, a jet blast deflector collapsed, severely injuring two sailors.

The giant jet blast deflector had risen from the deck on its forward hinge as if the weight of the helicopter weren't there.

Jet blast deflectors usually direct exhaust gases upward.

To prevent these problems, jet blast deflectors redirect the air stream in a non-dangerous direction, frequently upward.

The JBDs, or jet blast deflectors, dropped down, and the next waiting fighter rolled forward.

A jet blast deflector is often called simply a "blast deflector", however, this term has other uses.

This is a jet blast deflector, aJBD.

Jet blast deflectors are made of heavy duty material that is raised and lowered by hydraulic cylinders or linear actuators.

Some airports have installed jet blast deflectors in areas where roads or people may be in the path of the jet blast on take off.

JBD: Jet Blast Deflector.

Jet blast deflectors have been designed to counteract this problem by using multiple panels and various angles, and by using slotted panel surfaces.

Aircraft carriers use jet blast deflectors at the rear of aircraft catapults, positioned to protect other aircraft from exhaust blast damage.

Skeeter waited behind the JBDs--the Jet Blast Deflectors.

Jet blast deflectors range in complexity from stationary concrete, metal or fiberglass fences to heavy panels that are raised and lowered by hydraulic arms and actively cooled.

Now the river of hot gases blasting from the plane's twin exhaust pipes and flowing up over the jet blast deflector shimmered as the blast-furnace heat distorted the light.

Then the jet blast deflector, the JBD, slowly rose from the deck into an upright position squarely behind the Tomcat, obscuring it from Batman's view.

The ship's four jet blast deflectors were removed and upgraded to handle the increased heat generated by the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.

Two JBDs, or jet blast deflectors, had popped up from the deck and were partially screening the raging afterburner fire spewing out of the Hornet's tailpipes.

The jet blast deflector lies flush with and serves as a portion of the flight deck until the aircraft to be launched rolls over it on the way to the catapult.

The water-cooled plate of the Jet Blast Deflector behind Cat One rose in front of him, protecting his aircraft from the engine exhaust of the plane ahead.

The scorching blast of its Pratt & Whitney turbofans crashed against the saltwater-cooled jet blast deflector as the cat officer solemnly waved at the departing jet.

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.

As an aircraft is taxied onto the catapult, the wings are spread and a large jet blast deflector (JBD) panel rises out of the flight deck behind the engine exhaust.

But he avoided going through that blast fence, which would've been far worse.

They crashed our plane into the blast fence!!

Airports that are in dense urban areas often have blast fences between taxiways and airport borders.

During pushback for departure, the underside of the aircraft's tail struck a blast fence.

Angered at this humiliation, the order rang out, "Remove that blasted fence," which has since passed into a proverb.

Airports often place their blast fences at the beginnings of runways, especially when roadways or structures are adjacent.

Others are concerned because the plan to eliminate the blast fence would necessitate relocating the nearby road, South Main Street.

The blast fence rose about twelve feet high, and every thirty feet or so was a shooter's platform behind the fence.

The project includes installation of blast fences at both ends of the runway, and minor upgrades to airside aprons to accommodate large passenger aircraft.

In this case, steel and concrete barriers at the end of the runway, known as blast fences, and the waters of Jamaica Bay were looming ahead.

Germain, "Using and active control system to increase the insertion loss of a blast fence for run-up noise at Vancouver airport", Proc.

The plane was being pushed by a vehicle from a departure gate at John F Kennedy airport when its wing hit a blast fence at around 8.30am local time.

Weapons teams were posted atop buildings, behind blast fences and at other strategic points around Kennedy Airport, even as flights continued to take off and land roughly on schedule.

A little more than a hundred feet beyond the barrier was a steel jet exhaust blast fence, and then the back of the cave wall itself-complete darkness, cold deadly granite.

And as he was approaching the very end of the runway and seeing that heavy-guage steel blast fence starin' him in the face, he veered it off to the left.

The airplane touched down at approximately 182 knots, and about 20 seconds later, at approximately 32 knots, collided with a metal blast fence and an airport perimeter wall.

Surrounding ground zero were several thirty-foot-high wooden blast fences erected every one thousand feet, which would be used to gauge the effect of the HADES bomb's shock wave.

And now, if you look down toward the blast fence, you'll see several of our crash-and-fire-rescue-trained police standing by as five hundred gallons of jet fuel are poured around the fuselage mockup.

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.

But the fatalities of the pilot and seven of the eight passengers, the board said, were caused by the rigid blast fence and the absence of a safety area beyond the runway.

The barrier net had been removed, and the blast fence was diverting the F-16's FATAL TERRAIN 373 engine exhaust almost straight up into a cluster of ventilators.

On 12 June 2009, N877AF impacted a blast fence during landing after executing an instrument approach to runway 6 at Bridgeport, Connecticut, causing substantial damage to the engine, propeller, and a wing.

The twin-engine Piper, bringing gamblers home from Atlantic City, crashed into the blast fence just before 11 P.M. on April 27 after missing much of the runway on its landing in fog, investigators said.

"In 1994 there was a crash that killed eight people, and while the accident was caused by pilot error, death resulted from the plane hitting the blast fence at the end of the runway," Mr. Sendlein said.

The DC-10 came to rest on taxiway Juliett, near the end of 13 Right (and just short of a twelve-foot-high, solid-steel blast fence), with its damaged landing gear stuck in the sand off the pavement.
