Inlet Barrier Filters (IBFs) from Donaldson Aerospace & Defense, a division of Donaldson Company, can now be offered and installed as a factory option on new AW189 helicopters.
Donaldson IBF achieved the EASA certification for its installation on AW189s. The IBFs keep contamination, including dirt, dust, salt and foreign objects, from degrading the performance and reliability of the AW189’s turboshaft engines and auxiliary power units (APUs).
“Donaldson is pleased to work with Leonardo Helicopters providing its contribution to the highest performance and reliability of AW189s,” said Dan Larsen, general manager of Donaldson Aerospace & Defense. “Our innovative filtration technology, featuring Synteq XP™synthetic non-woven media, is ideally suited to this advanced technology helicopter.”
Donaldson IBFs are also approved as a factory option on new AW139 helicopters and are available to the aftermarket.
