Isn't that to keep birds out?

most likely they're more interested in keeping bullets and chrapnell out, but provided they make it trough the rotor in one piece birds could down the thing too.... belgian SAR seakings have a truck style deflector in front of the engines to keep seabirds out, though it's probably not designed for what i want the hind shields actually describe the setup i had in mind best....
since these engines suck in their air they probably don't rely much on ram effect... sort of the same as the radiator with the fan on!
