Pall Pureair System Agustawestland

The AgustaWestland AW139 helicopter is used in a variety of roles, including executive transport, search and rescue, and Emergency Medical Services (EMS). These demanding rescue operations can mean anxious and dangerous minutes spent hovering close to the sea or ground, and frequent landings on unprepared surfaces.

Helicopters used in these capacities must be available 24/7 for rapid deployment to any location. Their critical missions cannot be delayed or restricted by operational challenges like a blocked filter; they require a maintenance-free engine protection system.

The a fit and forgeta PUREair system is an ideal solution for such challenging operations. It shields the engine inlet from airborne contamination, resulting in:
Safer operation by protecting against FOD, ice, snow, and sand
Increased operational availability
Protection against engine erosion
On the AW139, there are two curved panels which are aerodynamically shaped to match the profile of the engine cowlings (port and starboard). They replace the standard screen over the side-facing air intakes.
