Aero Dyne has been manufacturing High Efficiency Turning Vanes & Rail for over 40 years. Gordon R. Jacobsen, a West Point graduate, invented the product to address the problem engineers faced with airflow deficiencies and noisy duct systems. Gordon’s precise design has never been duplicated, making it the only true airfoil high performance turning vane available today.
Aero Dyne Turning Vanes & Rail have been specified and installed in thousands of projects. Many of these projects had a high performance, sustainable design focus where Aero Dyne was written in “No Substitutions” making it clear no other product would be accepted.
