Boeing 717

Jet Brella Boeing 717 Engine Covers

Jet Brella’s inlet cover system for the Boeing 717 is engineered to safeguard the RR-BR715 engine against ramp-related risks and environmental damage. Designed for easy handling during maintenance stops, ground staging, or long-term parking, these covers provide comprehensive FOD protection while ensuring proper ventilation. The complete inlet cover kit (Part Number 717-2V) is purpose-built for all Boeing 717 variants and supports long-term reliability and readiness.

Inlet Covers

Jet Brella’s Boeing 717 inlet covers are specifically molded to match the form of the RR-BR715 engine nacelle. These units feature a dual venting system that maintains internal airflow while managing pressure changes, reducing moisture buildup, and preventing windmilling. With a stowed size of 46.0” in height by 9.0” in width and a total weight of just 8.25 lbs., each cover is lightweight and designed for fast, tool-free installation. Attachment is secured using quick-release pins or snaps, ensuring a snug, damage-free fit. The composite cone is integrated with a spinner bearing and designed for long-term durability. Each set includes a breathable mesh carry bag with loops for vertical stowage.

Exhaust Covers

Jet Brella’s exhaust covers for the Boeing 717 deliver dependable rear-engine protection, shielding the BR715 exhaust outlets from debris, wildlife intrusion, and adverse weather. Built with a composite cone lined in neoprene, these covers offer effective thermal insulation and long-lasting durability. The design incorporates a polycarbonate attachment system that ensures a firm, stable fit capable of withstanding ramp winds and jet blast. Lightweight and user-friendly, the covers are designed for solo, tool-free installation, making them ideal for quick deployment in any ground environment.
