ABSTRACT:
A flexible boot for covering and protecting protruding aircraft structures. The flexible boot is especially well adapted to cover and protect aircraft nose cones. In such an application the boot also protects electronic equipment including radar equipment typically located within the nose cone or radome area of the aircraft. The flexible boot has the advantage that it may be packaged by rolling it up. Preferably no discernible creases or wrinkles develop in the surface of the boot while it remains in rolled-up condition or thereafter when unrolled prior to use. The boot is formed of a flexible curved and continuous cap having a closed end and an opposed open end. The peripheral edge at the open end of the cap lies at or above the equator of the largest sphere which can be inscribed within the cap.
