Protecting Every Runway.

From combat airbases to commercial hubs - Airvrix protects runways worldwide.

Military

Military Airbases

Combat-proven on active airbases. F-35 JPO validated. Classified as "Urgent Need" by the U.S. Navy. Built to survive jet blast and deploy in any climate.

Military Solutions
Civilian

Commercial Airports

Aviation standards compliant. Reduces costly FOD incidents that damage engines, tires, and fuselages. Collapsible design lets vehicles cross without compromising safety.

Civilian Solutions
The Problem

No Barrier Between Clean and Dirty

Today, most airfields have no separation between the sterile, paved runway areas and the surrounding external zones. Foreign object debris from these outer areas gets pushed onto active runways by jet blast, causing engine, tire, and fuselage damage that costs lives and billions of dollars.

The Solution

FOD Barrier

A purpose-built, collapsible barrier that intercepts debris before it reaches runways - then folds flat to allow vehicles and aircraft to cross safely.

  • Designed to meet aviation safety standards
  • Patented collapsible design - folds flat for crossings
  • Engineered to withstand jet-blast and high wind velocity
  • All-weather performance with built-in drainage
  • 300mm height - optimized to catch common FOD

Results From an Official DoD Test Report

The Airvrix FOD Barrier was evaluated by the U.S. Department of Defense through the F-35 Joint Program Office - an external, independent test program carried out on operational aircraft, not by Airvrix.

"Success ultimately is a function of reducing and minimizing debris on airfields, directly correlating to manpower and equipment savings, as well as reduction in engine removals. With over a 90% reduction in FOD, we can say with confidence that this test was successful. The FOD Barrier effectively reduced total FOD by 90% and recurring FOD by 98%."
