Donaldson (Booth 7440) celebrated surpassing the 20-year milestone since it launched its inlet barrier filter (IBF). Since introducing the IBF in 2001, Donaldson has shipped more than 10,000 units around the world and the company said they are now available for all aircraft from the major OEMs.

IBFs protect helicopter engines from potentially damaging dust, sand, and debris. Donaldson operators with IBF-equipped aircraft have experienced reduced engine maintenance costs, more consistent flight operators, and extended engine time on wing.
