Jet Shades, making its NBAA Convention debut, is showcasing its new heat- and glare-blocking in-flight interior cockpit shades, available for numerous business and GA aircraft models. The shades block 99.9 percent of UVA and UVB radiation and 57 percent of solar energy, or glare, and also cut infrared radiation—heat—by 79.9 percent, “so it acts like a heat shield,” said Jet Shades founder and inventor Kevin Duggan. An engineer and Eclipse owner, Duggan began developing the product after a particularly hot Florida day on the flight deck. “I was getting really hot in the cockpit and didn’t feel good,” said Duggan. “Being an engineer, I knew what I wanted to do.”
