About

Joseph-Wesley

My name is Joseph Wesley, founder of Bluebird Aero, and my story begins in the mid-1980s. I can barely remember a time when aviation wasn’t part of my life. I was raised around airplanes, my Grandfather and Nan would fly my two cousins, my brother, and me to Canada every summer for fishing trips in a twin-engine Beechcraft Baron. Over the years, I occasionally took the controls, and the feeling was simply indescribable. It took some time, but eventually my love for aviation took hold. More than thirty years later, I’m a full-blown aviation addict.

I’ve always enjoyed thinking of ways to make flying fun and easier. That mindset led me to design a rugged, proudly Made in America iPad case that not only protects, cools, and powers your device, but also provides battery backup, an all in one consolidated package. Nothing on the market met all of my needs, so I built a prototype. From that idea, the Bluebird Aero Pilot Case was born.

I needed a strong, foundational name for the company. A few months before designing these cases, I had just had my airplane painted, and while brainstorming ideas, the word Bluebird came to me. The name was inspired by a stunning rendering created by accomplished architect and airplane artist Clinton Hummel from North Bay, Canada.
Clinton created multiple paint renderings for my airplane, but one stood out. The design featured a base coat of white, accented with one gold stripe, one dark metallic maroon stripe, and two dark metallic blue stripes that ran down the fuselage and gracefully up the tail. The wings were even more striking, with all three metallic colors tracing the leading edges and curving around the wingtips. This rendering inspired the name Bluebird, which became the foundation for our company: Bluebird Aero.

Now that you know a little about us, we want to know about you and to be part of your aviation journey through our meticulously designed, USA-made products. At Bluebird Aero, we believe that “perfection exists where great care is taken,” and our mission is to make the finest aviation products available. Please feel free to reach out – we’re here to help make your aviation journey as enjoyable as possible.

How does the Bluebird Aero Pilot Case work?

The Bluebird Aero Pilot Case uses an internal high-efficiency fan to draw in cool air and direct it across the back of your iPad, preventing overheating even in demanding environments. With a simple press of the power button, the system provides over 6 hours of continuous cooling—no external cables required.

A high-capacity rechargeable internal battery powers the cooling system and also functions as a backup power source. By plugging into the case’s USB-C charging port, you can charge mobile phones, headsets, iPads and other common USB-powered devices directly from the case.

In addition to cooling and power, the Bluebird Aero Pilot Case offers robust protection, shielding your iPad from impacts and everyday wear. When the internal battery needs recharging, simply connect a USB-C cable to the IN port.

Which mounting accessories work with the Bluebird Aero Cooling Case?

Bluebird Aero’s Pilot Case is designed with mount compatibility in mind.

It works seamlessly with the most widely used aviation mounting ecosystems:

I just wanted to reach out and say how much I love this case. I just got it and it is so high-quality and cool. I’m a pilot here at ERAU. My Dad got this for me as a birthday gift, it’s truly amazing and so smart. Also, my roommate saw the case and immediately goes, “I need to have one of those”. Thank you!”
