Replaceable tip for aircraft leading edge

摘要

A replaceable tip for an aircraft leading edge and which has a metallic abrasion shield glove removably mounted to the leading edge of the aircraft, fasteners for securing the abrasion shield glove to the leading edge of the aircraft, and a non-metallic resilient cushion insert fixedly attached to the abrasion shield glove so that the resilient cushion insert forms a dampening arrangement which reduces the amount of damage to the aircraft leading edge when the replaceable leading edge tip is hit.
