There are many shapes and sizes of jet-blast deflectors, all of which are concrete structures on the back of hardened aircraft shelters constructed to take the flow off jet engines and divert it. This one is from a shelter in the Netherlands where a team of Air Force Research Laboratory acoustics experts were gathering data to provide an official report to the Royal Netherlands Air Force for its HAS certifications.
