CHICAGO, IL—Flying safely with any airline because jet engines are protected from the potential deadly consequences of bird-strikes is a wish we all may have and now that wish might come true with the Laylah Engine Intake Sheild. We all remember the daunting television pictures of USAir #1549 landing on the Hudson River after a devastating bird-strike and the professional landing of “Sully” Sullenberger and his co-pilot, Jeffrey Skiles. The ability of aircraft engines to withstand collisions with large birds in the air is a concern of the National Transportation Safety Board. The Laylah Engine Intake Shield would be a form-fitting, domed, coned or parabolic metal grid designed to fasten over the forward cowling of the engine’s intake to prevent solid objects from being drawn into the engine’s compressor.

The Laylah Engine Intake Shield was invented by Ms. Laylah B. of Chicago, IL. She said, “This shield is intended to eliminate a potentially deadly weakness in the design of aircraft. It is designed to fit various models of Lear jets, Citation jets, Airbus A380, A320 and others. Records over the years show planes having significant bird strikes to both civil and military aircraft. The Laylah Engine Intake Shield will work on open-faced-jet engines and may save damage to aircraft engines, staff and passengers.”
