Gravel deflector

This fiberglass "ski" as its called in the Artic, is a gravel deflector that helps divert the gravel away from the engines. This aircraft is also installed with a retractable anti collision beacon underneath and two vortex dissapators that extend down from the bottom of the nacelles to pump hight pressure air in front for the engine - in order to eliminate vorticies

different uh!
