FIELD: aviation; device for protection of engines against foreign object ingestion. SUBSTANCE: device includes movable lower panel secured on air intake case. Movable lower panel is intended to perform forward motion in horizontal direction. Articulated triangular panels perform oscillatory motion in opposite direction at angle of α = 90 to 120 deg at oscillation period of T=1.0-3.0 s. length of panels is related to height B of midsection of air intake at the following relationship . Width bl of panels is related to width L of midsection of air intake at the following relationship . EFFECT: enhanced efficiency; reduced probability of suction of vortex core inside air intake together with foreign matter. 2 dwg
