A debris deflector for a jet engine. The debris deflector includes a housing having a base and a nose, wherein the housing tapers radially inwardly from the base towards the nose, such that the nose can deflect debris away from the housing. The housing includes a flexible shroud that extends between the base and the nose, such that the housing can selectively move between a collapsed position and an extended position, such that a linear distance between the nose and the base is less when in the collapsed position. A fastener is disposed on the base to removably secure the housing to a jet engine cowling. The debris deflector is useful for deflecting debris, such as wildlife or small aircraft, away from the jet engine during flight.
