Abstract: A turbo-engine guard (2) for mounting on the air inlet (1) side of a turbo-engine, particularly of airplanes, comprises guard elements (3) possessing an optimum aerodynamic design. Advantageously the center lines or their extensions of the guard elements intersect or do not intersect each other in one plane. Preferably the guard elements (3) are helically mounted, preferably along several helical lines. Appropriately the guard elements (3) are kept under a tension so that these elements return to their original position after collision. Suitable materials for the guard elements are plastics of the poly-p-phenylene terephtalamide type, carbon fibres, metal or parts being held together by a binder being resistant to temperatures comprised between +150.degree. C. and -50.degree. C.
