Abstract

An inlet barrier filter system for an aircraft engine includes a filter panel (35) including filter media for filtering air prior to intake (15) into the engine. The filter panel has a forward edge (F). The system further includes an actuator for selectively pivoting the panel to form an opening around the panel for allowing air to bypass the filter. The opening is rearward of the forward edge of the filter panel.
