Abstract
A cover for the data ports disposed on opposite sides of a F-35 aircraft. The cover is macroscopically planar when not in use but flexible to conform to the curves on the sides of the F-35 airframe when the cover is attached. The cover is magnetically attached to three sides of a frame circumscribing air data port, but not attached on the forward side of the frame. This geometry provides for a covers which are symmetric and therefore usable with air data ports on both sides of the F-35 aircraft. The air data port cover does not have mechanical attachments or parts separable in use.
