FIELD: aviation; protection of flying vehicle engines against foreign object ingestion. SUBSTANCE: device has lower movable panel mounted in air intake housing. Movable lower panel may perform reciprocating motion in horizontal direction at period of oscillations of T=0.5-2.0 s. Length ll of lower panel and height B of middle section of air intake are at the following relationship: ll= ll/B = 0,1-1,0.. Width Bl of lower panel and width L of middle section of air intake are made in the following relationship: Bl= Bl/L = 0,6-0,8. EFFECT: reduction of probability of ingestion vortex core inside air intake together with foreign objects. 2 dwg
