Aerometals wants to bring the same engine protection to the Bell 412 that it has to the H60/S70. The IBF will protect engines from foreign object damage, erosion and engine degradation.

With over 25 years of industry experience in both military and commercial sectors, Erik Blanck will be utilising his knowledge to compliment the Aerometals team of executives.

Benefits of the Aerometals EIBF over legacy systems: 50-pound weight savings, no impact to ram air cooling, no airspeed correction charts, no parasitic drag and a fuel burn improvement of up to 40 pounds per hour.
