The jet blast barrier is a device used to control the impact of the airflow generated by aircraft either as they manoeuvre around an airfield or during ground testing at higher engine power settings.

There are many instances why such a barrier would be necessary and a wide variety of applications to be found at most airfields. This is particularly true for airfields with limited space and crowded infrastructure, but is also a vital part of both existing airport expansion/development and new airport design.

The principle reason for a jet blast protection barrier is to provide an aerodynamically efficient device to control the engine efflux of aircraft. This must be capable of providing protection at whatever power level the aircraft happens to be employing as it positions itself around the airfield. The barriers are typically necessary to protect buildings, roadways, vehicles and personnel at areas where the jet efflux may cause damage or constitute a risk to safety. Because of the complex infrastructure, the variety of aircraft and the uniqueness of every airport configuration there is a need to provide a range of jet blast protection barriers to achieve this.  IAC Acoustics barrier systems have been developed with this in mind and our product range provides this with a modern global approach to specifying, selecting, manufacturing and installing the equipment that is right for the application.
