ABSTRACT:
An air intake for a gas turbine engine compressor comprises an arcuate primary duct which is in communication with the compressor of the gas turbine engine and which is provided with frangible wall portion. The frangible wall portion provides a barrier between the primary duct and a secondary duct and is so positioned and adapted as to be impacted and penetrated by a foreign body, such as a bird, which is above a predetermined weight and which has been ingested through the inlet of the primary duct. After penetrating the wall portion the foreign body passes through the secondary duct and is discharged therefrom at a location remote from the primary duct.
