DeGroff Aviation Technologies, LLC has its roots in developing general-aviation safety products in the mid-1980s. Since then, we’ve produced American-made pilot safety solutions sold across the U.S. and Europe. Today, we offer 20+ aviation products, including the first safety pitot-tube cover designed to release automatically if takeoff is attempted without manual removal during preflight.
Airlines, OEMs, and MROs asked for similar protection at the turbine level—so we engineered it. Our PitotShield V2™ SmartCover™ is the first pitot cover to apply system-safety engineering. Its patented fail-safe design mitigates human error with a heat-resistant, universal fit and auto-release feature: the cover disengages from auto-heated pitot tubes approximately 2–5 minutes after power-up.
As the first significant advance in ADS (Air Data System) protection in decades, PitotShield V2™ SmartCover™ is a paradigm shift—improving safety, reducing delays, and lowering costs across Production, Maintenance, Operations, and Readiness for Commercial, Business, and Defense turbine aircraft.
