FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: engine protective grating 14 serves to prevent impacts of debris driven by tire against aircraft engine 3. Proposed grating comprises protective rotary shutter 20 jointed to aircraft main undercarriage 10 with wheel assembly having tire with axial line Said shutter can displace between first position whereat it is located, mainly, under axial line and second position intended for preventing shutter bumps against runway in takeoff and landing. In said first position, said shutter crosses wheel assembly over its width to cover all possible paths of tire drive debris between aircraft wheel and engine.
EFFECT: lower probability of engine damage.
