Crazed, cloudy screens
UV and heat work on the acrylic bubble and fade the paint and trim. The cover takes the sun instead.

HQ Aviation×Air Covers
We are the official UK dealer for Air Covers, the AS9100-accredited cover maker in Wrexham. Our own fleet wears them.
// Why cover it
What one night outside does to a helicopter
A cover spends more hours on the aircraft than the pilot does. Drag the photo to see the difference.
A late first flight
Pull the cover off and the frost comes with it. No scraping the canopy while the booking waits.
Water in the cabin
Door seals and vents let rain in over time. Damp seats and avionics cost more to fix than to prevent.
Scratches from cleaning
Droppings and dust get wiped off the bubble, and every wipe leaves fine scratches. Covered screens stay clean.
// The cover, part by part
Made for one type, not every type
Four things you can see on a fitted R66 cabin cover. Hover a note to find it on the aircraft.
01Cut from a laser scan
Air Covers scan each aircraft type into 3D and CNC-cut every panel from it, so the cover follows the bubble instead of sagging over it.
02Soft on the inside
The lining is ripstop parachute fabric rather than flock, so grit and salt are not trapped against the paint.
03Your colours, your mark
Fifteen standard colours, with your logo or registration printed on. Ours carry the HQ logo.
04No metal near the paint
Shock cord, Velcro and acetal buckles hold it on. No tools, and one person fits it after shutdown.
5-year warrantyAgainst sun, mildew and atmospheric chemicals, on every cover.
Made in WrexhamAS9100 accredited since 2009. King’s Award for International Trade.
Built to be repairedStraps, buckles and Velcro can be replaced, and covers can be cleaned professionally.

// Daily flying
Operational set
Cabin, rotor head, engine deck and tail rotor. Quick on, quick off, for aircraft that fly every day.
// Summer ramp
Silver reflective
Under 1.5 kg. Bounces sun off the cabin and avionics, and packs small enough for the baggage bay.
// Night stop
Intake & pitot
High-visibility intake covers, exhaust plugs and pitot covers on Remove Before Flight flags, so nothing is missed at start-up.
// Crowded hangar
Hangar gear
Padded blade tips, door edges and window covers take the knocks when aircraft are parked nose to tail.
// On the move
Transport covers
Reusable covers for moving an aircraft by road, sea or air. They replace shrink-wrap and go back in the bag at the other end.

Helicopter and aircraft covers, supplied from Denham
HQ Aviation is the official UK dealer for Air Covers, the Wrexham company that has made protective covers for helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft since 2006. Every cover starts with a laser scan of the aircraft type, so an R44 cover is cut for the R44 and nothing else. We supply cabin covers, full cover sets and operational sets for the Robinson R22, R44 and R66 and the Guimbal Cabri G2, and order covers for almost any other type, from the Airbus H125 to the Bell 429.
The covers are made in Britain from waterproof, breathable fabrics with a ripstop lining, carry a five-year warranty and are typically made in four to six weeks. They can match your livery and carry your logo or registration. Because we fly and maintain Robinsons every day at Denham Aerodrome, we can help you choose the right set, check the fit when it arrives and look after it for years.
