Hi there :)
I dont think that grid or gate will do here
Please help
“des grilles peuvent être disposes sur les entrées d’air afin de prévenir toute entrée de coprs étrangers solides dans les caissons” this is about the inflatable compartments on a paraglider
Thank you in advance

mesh(ing)
Depending on what these "grilles" actually are. If they are fabric, as I strongly suspect because of the word "caisson", which is a parachute term, then "mesh(ing)" it is.

mesh
"this is a question for the wing designers - why is there no mesh on the air inlets of the wing? it would keep all the junk out - bugs, stones, grass and so on, and I don't think it would impede the inflation or deflation of the wing at all - am I missing something?
Or is it just tradition? It would probably add a bit of structural integrity as well...
Does anyone know? I frequently have to fight with locusts deciding to jump inside my wing and then getting lost around there, I had fist-sized stones in, I heard stories involving mobile phone"

"The ambient air inlet means may be an air inlet port extending in close proximity and parallel with a sealed inflated fabric leading edge body and formed as a continuation of the under surface of the aerodynamic skin by an air-permeable mesh covered internally by an extension of the non-permeable outer skin to form a simple flap functioning as a non-return air gate."

| thanks for the links, I'm assuming mesh stays "mesh" in the plural? :s |
