ABSTRACT:
An aircraft wing protective cover system which is secured on an aircraft wing to cover and protect the wing from snow and ice build-up during winter weather includes a cover sheet configured to overlie the upper surface of an aircraft wing and to extend around and under the forward edge of the wing. The system also includes a pocket formed at an outer end of the cover sheet which encloses a tip of the wing, and perimeter strips attached to and extending along the perimeter of the cover sheet and cross strips attached to the cover sheet and extending between the perimeter strips to reinforce the cover sheet. The system further includes wing straps with attachment elements that extend from the perimeter strips at selected locations and are attached to one another underneath the wing to secure the cover against the upper surface of the wing, and fuselage straps with attachment elements that extend from the perimeter strips at the fore and aft inner corners of the cover sheet and are attached to fuselage straps that extend from another cover sheet on the opposite side of the aircraft to secure the inner edge of the cover sheet against the fuselage of the aircraft. Also, the system include clips attached to the cross strips near the aft edge of the cover sheet and which extend around the aft edge of the aircraft wing to prevent the cover sheet from sliding forward on the aircraft wing as the wing straps are tightened.
