ABSTRACT:
A device and method is disclosed whereby a protective cover is positioned on the upper surface of an aircraft wing. The cover comprises a lightweight, ultraviolet stabilized material which is resistant to propagation of tears and does not absorb water. Cover material, overhanging the leading or trailing edges of the wing, is locally out-out in the area of protuberances to assist in providing a form-fit when a plurality of cinch straps, attached to the leading and trailing edges, are tightened under the wing. Additional straps may be employed to secure the cover to the fuselage. The cover, when tightened, prevents significant ingress of air, protecting the upper surface.
