RECAP: Sesame at NBAA-BACE 2025

Our team had an incredible experience exhibiting at NBAA-BACE 2025, held from October 14 to 16, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. As one of the leading events in the aviation industry, NBAA-BACE brought together thousands of business aviation professionals, including owners, operators, pilots, and manufacturers. The show was an exciting opportunity to showcase our latest advances in aircraft engine and pitot probe protection and connect with customers and partners.

Engine and Pitot Probe Protection

At the show, we displayed our latest advances in aircraft engine and pitot probe protection, including the newly launched Gold Armor GSE and the latest variant of the Diamond Engine Shield EX.

Gold Armor GSE is a new class of aircraft avionics cover, offering never-before-seen longevity and protection to military, commercial, and business aircraft due to its construction from DuPont™ Kevlar® EXO™.

The latest variant of the Diamond Engine Shield EX is designed specifically for engine exhausts with thrust reversers, expanding the product’s availability to even more aircraft.

At the show, we also displayed our customization capabilities for the Diamond Engine Shield EX, including direct-to-fabric printing of logos, aircraft registration numbers, or slogans, as well as an expanded palette of available fabrics. Customized products offer the same protection while allowing customers to add a personal touch.

Following customer feedback, we have reimagined the storage bags for the Diamond Engine Shield EX. The new bags are more streamlined, lighter weight, and are designed to be hung in the aircraft or hangar storage compartments.

Overheard at NBAA

At trade shows, we receive a lot of product feedback and support from aircraft owners, operators, manufacturers, and pilots. At this year’s NBAA-BACE, we heard from the aviation community about the impact of the Diamond Engine Shield EX.

“Pilots shouldn’t be on ladders.”

We couldn’t agree more. At Sesame, we’re committed to protecting your most valuable assets: your aircraft, your time, and your people. Products such as the Diamond Engine Shield EX and our pitot cover installation tools keep pilots and ground crew on the ground, off ladders, and out of harm's way.

“Anything is better than something we’re not using.”

Outdated aircraft protection solutions often get left in storage because they’re simply too much of a hassle to bother with. That’s why at Sesame, we design solutions that work for your team. The Diamond Engine Shield EX is designed to be installed by a single person from the ground. A full set, including exhaust and inlet protection, can be installed in minutes.

“We need a better solution.”

If you find yourself saying this about your current aircraft ground support equipment, reach out to our team. We’ll match you to the equipment that best supports your needs. As a design and manufacturing firm, we are also prepared to develop solutions tailored to your unique requirements.

Thank you to all our customers and partners who paid us a visit at NBAA-BACE 2025! To learn more about our products or schedule a demonstration of the Diamond Engine Shield, connect with our team today.
