Aviation Windsocks
Description
Explore our selection of professional and high-quality windsocks. Windsocks, also known as "air sleeves" or "wind sleeves," are visual devices used to indicate wind speed and direction. Commonly seen at airports, airfields, highways, construction sites, and SEVESO sites, they are essential for aerial navigation and safety.
Using Windsocks
Windsocks, usually composed of five alternating red and white bands, visualize air movement. Their conical shape allows for wind speed estimation, while their pointed end shows the wind direction. Though not as precise as an anemometer, windsocks are typically mounted on weathervanes at the top of masts.

AIR ET AVENTURE: THE WINDSOCK SPECIALIST
Air et Aventure offers three main types of windsocks:
First, the STNA windsocks. These certified windsocks meet the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and are widely used in aviation, located near takeoff and landing zones, providing crucial information for pilots to navigate the airspace safely.
These are ideal for use in airfields, airports, heliports, and the air transport sector in general.
They are also used on highways as beacons, known as balise J7, to warn drivers of wind effects on their vehicles.
We also offer Polyester 120gr/m² windsocks. Though not certified, they are very durable and robust.
Our Ripstop windsocks offer excellent value for money. Designed for moderate climate variations, they are waterproof and resistant to UV, tears, and harsh weather conditions.
For illuminated windsocks, consider acquiring a light beacon to make each red and white band visible even at night.
We also offer windsocks for paragliding, useful for pilots to land safely by always positioning themselves facing the wind.
