It is lighter in weight than armour plate but requires a clearance to allow for the elastic expansion/contraction of the Kevlar as it catches a blade. I know it is used on CF34-3A/B in Canadair RJ/Challenger and on BR710 in Gulfstream V/Global Express as well as on some variants of RB 211. Gerald Wilson
