A protective cover for a fuselage-mounted exterior aircraft light includes a fuselage-facing mounting side for mounting the protective cover to an exterior aircraft light housing or to an exterior skin of an aircraft; a light transmissive forward facing light emission surface; and an air deflection zone, which is shaped to direct a portion of an impinging air stream (A) along and over the forward facing light emission surface for shielding the forward facing light emission surface from the impinging air stream (A).

Protective cover for a fuselage-mounted exterior aircraft light and exterior aircraft light

An exterior helicopter light unit () with a dynamic output light intensity distribution includes a plurality of LEDs (), and an optical system () for shaping the output light intensity distribution from light emitted by the plurality of LEDs (), wherein each of the plurality of LEDs () contributes to the output light intensity distribution in an LED-specific output direction region, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of LEDs () are individually dimmable, with a level of dimming for each of said portion of the plurality of LEDs () in operation being set depending on a distance of the exterior helicopter light unit () to ground () in the respective LED-specific output direction region.
