From CFD simulation, to airflow visualization, to real-time data logging and independent review.



Proud of the team and partners who make this level of engineering possible.




📊 Real data. Peer-reviewed. Modern tech Built for airports that need certainty — not assumptions.


When your project needs data you can trace, performance you can prove, and confidence when compliance reviews come around, we don't just hand you drawings—we give you the evidence to back it up.

At Vortex Deflector, every solution comes with instrumentation, expert analysis, and third-party validation. Our jet blast deflectors aren't just barriers—they're engineered systems that have been proven in the real world.



𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞:



• Real-time strain and deformation monitoring – We log data across multiple channels, synced with aircraft thrust levels, so we can verify structural margins under actual operating conditions.


• Airflow mapping with anemometer arrays – We track jet plume velocity and direction, then compare it against our CFD models to make sure the simulation matches what's happening in the field.


• Expert-level analysis – Our data gets reviewed by aerodynamics professors and PhDs specializing in materials and data acquisition systems.


• Independent peer review – Results are audited and signed off by external engineering design teams.


• FAA compliance testing – Critical frangible components are simulated using FEA and validated through lab testing to failure, per FAA AC 150/5220-23A.


• Full material traceability – Every material is certified by the manufacturer to ensure it meets spec.

This isn’t just a deflector—it’s a modern, patent-pending structure engineered to exceed expectations.


 Field-tested for years in humid Andean climates, inspected for corrosion by qualified professionals, and built for a service life of over 50 years, it’s more than compliant—it’s resilient.



🛫 If you're an airport consultant working on a complex airside project, let's talk. The data is traceable. The technology is proven. And the experts are ready to help you deliver next-generation airside operations.
