  • Patent number: 11175304
    Abstract: A pitot tube cover for a pitot tube operable to determine a speed of an aircraft based on an airstream impinging on the pitot tube. The pitot tube cover has a body and a sail extending from the body. The body has a top surface opposite a bottom surface, an elongate cavity and a slot extending from the top surface to the elongate cavity, the elongate cavity sized to receive the pitot tube and the slot having a width narrower than a diameter of the pitot tube to provide a retaining force which retains the body on the pitot tube after the pitot tube is received by the elongate cavity. The sail includes a first substantially planar sail surface and a second substantially planar sail surface extending from the first sail surface distally to the body.
