Sesame Technologies R/C-AOAC-2 Angle of Attack Vane Cover for Select Boeing Aircraft

The angle of attack vane provides critical flight data to the aircraft’s systems, helping determine stall margins and safe operating conditions. Damage or deformation of the vane, whether from debris, accidental impacts, or improper cleaning methods, can result in inaccurate data being fed to the cockpit. Using a protective cover like the R/C-AOAC-2 helps prevent costly repairs, ensures flight safety, and minimizes operational disruptions.

AOA vanes are particularly vulnerable during routine maintenance, especially when technicians use high-pressure hoses or other powerful cleaning tools. The R/C-AOAC-2 is built with heavy-gauge anodized aluminum to shield the vane from accidental pressure, impacts, or contact with tools. Its flame-resistant and heat-resistant design also protects against harsh hangar or ramp conditions, reducing the risk of vane deformation.

This vane cover is constructed from heavy-gauge anodized aluminum, chosen for its strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. The non-scratch, heat-resistant base ensures that while the cover protects the vane, it does not cause surface damage during installation or removal. Combined with a flame-retardant design, these materials provide long-lasting protection even in demanding environments.

The cover is designed with captive screws that make installation and removal quick and straightforward. Captive fasteners stay attached to the cover, eliminating the risk of losing small parts on the ramp or in the hangar. This user-friendly design allows technicians to secure the vane quickly, ensuring both efficiency and safety during maintenance or aircraft downtime.

Yes, the R/C-AOAC-2 is manufactured under ISO 9001 and AS9100D quality assurance requirements, ensuring consistent production quality and reliability. It also includes an NAS1756-approved warning streamer with part number identification, making it compliant with recognized aviation safety standards. These certifications give operators confidence that the cover meets strict industry requirements.

AOA vanes are exposed to environmental risks such as heat, chemical exposure, or airborne contaminants while the aircraft is parked. The R/C-AOAC-2 provides a robust shield that resists abrasion, chemical damage, and excessive heat. By minimizing exposure to these hazards, it extends the service life of the vane and reduces the likelihood of in-service failures.

Yes! By preventing deformation and damage to the angle of attack vane, the cover helps avoid expensive component replacements or repairs. Since vane damage can also ground an aircraft until it is corrected, the use of a reliable cover minimizes costly downtime. For operators with large fleets, these savings add up significantly over time.

The cover is fitted with a NAS1756-approved red warning streamer that includes the part number for easy identification. This highly visible streamer ensures ground crews are aware of the cover during preflight checks, reducing the chance of accidental takeoff with the cover still installed. The visibility feature enhances both safety and compliance with standard operating procedures.

Yes, the R/C-AOAC-2 is used across both sectors thanks to its compatibility with Boeing airliners and military platforms such as the Lockheed Martin C-130J. Its rugged construction and adherence to aviation quality standards make it trusted by airlines, MRO facilities, and defense organizations alike. This versatility adds value for operators maintaining mixed fleets.

Sesame Technologies specializes in high-performance protective covers designed specifically for aviation applications. Unlike generic covers, the R/C-AOAC-2 is built with aerospace-grade materials and tested for fit, durability, and compliance with international standards. Its combination of anodized aluminum construction, flame resistance, and NAS-approved warning streamer makes it a premium choice for operators seeking maximum reliability.
