Cool, Comfortable Cockpits Under the Canopy!
While Van’s RV aircraft provide spectacular, unrestricted views through the canopy, solar energy and heat beaming through the canopy can sap the enjoyment out of flying — not to mention the glare and nonstop UV exposure that is soaking all on board! With our Patent-Pending Design, Jet Shades for Van’s Aircraft canopies solves the problem of hot, sunny trips with a uniquely designed product that will have you on cloud nine!
Made with a highly-engineered material that bends and flexes to fit your entire canopy, weighs less than four pounds, and is precut for a quick & easy installation, Jet Shades for Van’s RV-6,7, and 9 will:
- significantly reduce and equalize temperature making flying an enjoyable and comfortable experience
- deliver complete sun protection overhead while preserving unhindered visibility through the side canopy
- cut the sun glare so pilots have excellent visual clarity both inside and out
- block solar energy and radiation while flying and on the ground (tested to 200 degrees!)
Already have a fabric pull shade? Not to worry! Jet Shades will still attach with our mounting kit above the fabric shade and provide protection all the way down the sides as well. Check out our video of Jet Shades in an RV-9 with a fabric pull shade.
When you add Jet Shades to your Van’s RV aircraft, you’ll enjoy the same UV, heat & glare-blocking performance as our professional Jet Shades for jets, turboprops, and certified aircraft do. Plus, you’ll love the amazing ramp presence with our mirrored tinted windows finish.
A Cockpit Must-Have for Hot, Sunny Flights
Jet Shades for Van’s RV canopies are thoughtfully designed with pilot and passenger comfort in mind. While other sun shade products focus mainly on blocking visible light, Jet Shades are built so you can enjoy complete sun protection without blocking your view, including:
- 99.9% protection from harmful UVA/UVB radiation
- up to 94% infrared heat blocked, 58-76% actual heat BTU blockage
- as much as 80% glare reduction
This triple protection from the sun is a game-changer for:
- individuals with fair skin and eyes
- anyone prone to sunburn or has a history of skin cancer
- families flying with children and pets
- passengers who use electronic devices
- anyone who feels uncomfortable in elevated thermal temperatures
Leave Your Jet Shades In While Parked
Jet Shades can take the scorching heat! Tested up to 200 degrees with no bubbling or blistering, Jet Shades will cool and protect your aircraft interior both on the ground and in the air. No need to remove them on the ramp, and no need for separate foil sun guards!
30-Minute Install, Countless Hours of Comfort
Outfitting your Van’s RV with the Jet Shades is quick and easy. You’ll receive precut shades that require little to no customization in order to achieve the perfect fit! Since the Jet Shades material flexes and bends effortlessly, fitting is a breeze.
Each kit contains everything you need to fit and mount your Jet Shades in your RV aircraft. All you need is about 30 minutes and a pair of heavy-duty scissors. It’s as easy as 1-2-3:
- Install the clips and brackets to your RV aircraft support bars.
- Fit and install the Jet Shades. Fit the large canopy shade first, followed by the windshield shade and side canopy shades. (See included manual for details.)
- Make any customizations to allow for antennas, GPS, etc., and you’re done!
Like our Jet Shades professional series products, Jet Shades for Van’s RV aircraft do not attach to your aircraft windows with suction cups or adhesives. So you never have to worry about costly damage due to adhesive films or suction cups that restrict canopy expansion and contraction during flight! What’s more, the side canopy Jet Shades are easily installed and removed during flight by sliding them between the upper jet shade and the canopy!
