The front of the intake is covered by a fine mesh - I believe the teechnical term is FOD guard (Foreign object damage)

All the Wrent turbines that I have used have come with this mesh built in.

However bumps on the road may lead to premature bearing wear due to the extra stresses.

Thrust reverser / deflector. Techinically I would make a deflector - like a rudder which can be operated by a servo. It would have to be a mild steel plate that can withstand EGT (exhaust) of over 800 'C.
