About

Flexible jet intake covers

Checkmate Flexible Engineering’s jet intake covers – also known as intake blanks – have been developed to provide aircraft engines with lightweight protection from damage caused by foreign objects and the elements. We supply inflatable intake covers to a number of NATO air forces, and all of our products are NATO codified.

RELIABLE SOLUTIONS

Supplying the Ministry of Defence

Combining a lightweight design with the ability to be deflated and collapsed quickly for easy stowage, our intake covers have been chosen for the EH101 Merlin Helicopter. 

The non-metallic, light materials used for construction means that damage is minimised if the covers are ingested or blown across the deck or airfield into other aircraft or personnel.
