    Abstract: Airframe localized keel structures are disclosed. An example aircraft includes an airframe, a first engine mounted on a first side of the airframe, a second engine mounted on a second side of the airframe, and an airframe keel positioned on at least one of a lower portion of the airframe or an upper portion of the airframe between the first engine and the second engine, the airframe keel to prevent an object from exiting the first engine and impacting the second engine.
