We at Win Health have a wonderful hobby - we fly a small light Eurostar aircraft.
We are very proud of our Eurostar. It embodies our passion for flying as well as our Win Health corporate pride.
We fly from Carlisle Airport in Cumbria, where our Eurostar G-WINH is hangared.
The G-WINH Eurostar is a small light aircraft with amazing flying capabilities. It glides effortlessly through the air at cruising speed of circa 100 miles per hour. The views over the Solway coast and neighbouring Lake District are breathtaking!
When not in flight, the Eurostar shares a place in a hangar with many other large and small aircrafts, ranging from flex wing microlights to Jet Provost and Eddie Stobart’s magnificent sleek light jets.
The space in the hangar is at a premium, with aircrafts often competing for parking positions as well as their share of available space.
Maneuvering an aircraft in and out of the hangar can be precarious, especially when the hangar is full. If not extremely careful, it is easy to damage the wings, while moving the aircraft to or from its parking position. It is also possible to accidentally catch and damage a tip of the wing or a tailplane of another parked aircraft.
Damage to the wings and tailplane and especially the vulnerable wing tips can be very costly and the repairs can take a long time.
As a healthcare company, we know that prevention is always better than cure!
Protecting the vulnerable wing tips and the tailplane from accidental damage in a hangar is the solution!
Our own Eurostar and other light planes at Carlisle have been equipped with protective wing tip covers of our own design - the Win Aviation Aircraft Wing Covers.
Aircraft Wing Covers
Win Aviation Aircraft Wing Covers have been designed to provide protection to the vulnerable wing tips and to the tailplane. We make the wing covers in our manufacturing plant in Jedburgh.
The Aircraft Wing Covers are made with great precision and the fit is guaranteed! Each set of wing covers consists of 4 separate pieces that protect the tips of the main wings (2 pieces) and the tailplane (2 pieces).
The protective wing covers are made of 3 layers of special fabrics:
- The inner layer is made from super soft stay dry brushed polyester, which ensures that the fabric in contact with the wing surface is smooth and soft. In addition to the softness, the brushed polyester transfers any residual moisture (i.e. rain droplets, condensation) from the surface of the wing into the middle layer of the wing cover, thus keeping the wing surface dry.
- The middle layer is made from soft absorbent non woven felt that gives the wing cover its protective cushioning bulk. The middle layer is absorbent and stores any moisture soaked up from the wing surface.
- The outer layer is made from special multicoated polyester that is waterproof, breathable, flame retardant and ‘wipe and dry’ for easy cleaning.
The wing covers are white, which makes them easily noticeable even when the lighting in the hangar is not bright. This helps people walking around the parked aircraft or moving aircraft in and out of the parked positions to be extra vigilant around the outer tips of the aircraft wings.
Eurostar G-WINH taking off & landing at Carlisle Airport (EGNC)We dress the wing tips and the tailplane of our Eurostar with the wing covers prior to entering the hangar. We remove the wing covers after the aircraft has been maneuvered out from its parking place onto the apron. Using the wing covers gives us the confidence that the wing tips of our aircraft are protected from accidental damage that may occur in a hangar.
Wing tip covers available currently are for the Eurostar EV 97 and the Icarus C 42.
The cost of the 4 piece set of the aircraft wing covers is £225.00 + VAT (£264.38)
You can purchase these wing covers in our Online Shop or call us on 01835 864866.
We hope to design wing covers for more types of light aircraft in due course.
If you are a light aircraft owner and you would like to protect the wings of your aircraft, please contact us by phone to discuss your requirements. We can design and make the wing covers for your light aircraft to your specifications in approximately 5 – 7 working days.
