More performance. Less fatigue.BLR_DualStrake_250x250Dual Tailboom Strakes are the most cost-effective, multi-functional, value-added modification ever developed for single-rotor helicopters with enclosed tailbooms.b They work by organizing and controlling rotorwash, reducing undesired sideways lift on the left side of the tailboom. By reducing turbulence under the tailboom, Dual Tailboom Strakes reduce tail rotor pedal reversals by up to 38 percent.Fly with new levels of control and authority. Installing Dual Tailboom Strakes on your helicopter is an investment in safety, productivity and the one thing money cant buy peace of mind.

Performance & StyleBLR_WingletSketchB_250x250Winglet Systems from BLR Aerospace are a solid, stylish addition that will distinguish your King Air in the hangar, on the ramp and everywhere you fly. Carbon fiber Winglet and aluminum wing tip increase wing aspect ration to reduce induced drag and fuel consumption up to 5 percent or more.Benefits include:Reduced time to climb and fuel burnImproved short field performanceExtended rangeImproved OEI climbImproved handlingIncreased hull valueImproved high altitude performanceModernized appearance

Stability & ComfortBLR_RearStrakes_250x250This modification consists of two tapered ventral fins known as strakes. Each strake is a two-part split design, and the rear-most portions are attached to the tailcone. This design allows for the largest possible surface area consistent with rotation angle ground clearance while maintaining ease of tailcone removal for maintenance and inspections.Benefits Include:Improved directional stability during take-off, climb and landingImproved cabin ride during cruise flightImproved stability and handling at high angles of attack and low airspeedReduced yaw with or without yaw damper engagedReduced aft body drag with associated benefitsAdditional two knot reduction in Vmc

Safer & More ManageableBLR_WingletSketchB_250x250Adding Winglets to your Duke will provide dramatic improvements in flight characteristics and handling, making it safer and more manageable in all conditions. This is especially true when high angles of attack occur during take-off or engine-out operations. Enhanced performance results from an increase in effective wingspan, or aspect ratio, and associated reductions in lift-induced drag.Benefits include:Climb to altitude fasterCruise more efficiently at higher altitudesEnhance safety margins at take-off with lower liftoff speeds for short field operationsReduce Dutch roll tendenciesLower stall speeds allow approach category A IFR minimums

A Complete Performance PackageBLR_PKG_250x250The Grand Duke performance package includes BLR Vortex Generators, Aft Body Strakes, Winglets and a new operational weight of 7, 039 pounds. Together, these enhancements provide impressive performance gains for Duke owners who want more from their aircraft.225 pounds of additional useful load43% greater climb performanceSignificantly lower approach speedsThe Grand Duke program can be tailored to meet your schedule and budgetary needs. Whether you need a complete fast track installation program or prefer to spread the package over several purchases, BLR can accommodate your needs.Grand Duke Package is available for:Click to download available performance charts or contact BLR.Beechcraft Duke

Better, More Reliable LightingBLR_LED_250x250BLRs Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Lighting System upgrade is a lightweight, high-performance retrofit that provides significant benefits over standard incandescent lights. These highly reliable LED wingtip lights reduce flight cancellations due to bulb failure and burn brighter making them highly visible with less flashback when operating in heavy fog or clouds.Benefits include:Increased reliabilityReduced power consumption and weightHigh illumination and a modernized aircraftLong life for improved mission readinessLED Lighting Systems are available for:Click below to download available performance charts.

For Safety, Performance & ProfitBLR_VGSketch_250x250Like most BLR products, Vortex Generators (VGs) are designed to optimize airflow in this case over the wing of the aircraft on which they are installed. VGs enhance performance by energizing airflow and spinning it into tiny vortices that travel over the wing and compress the boundary layer. All VG kits include small, highly engineered aluminum tabs that are attached to the wing aft of the leading edge in precise locations.Benefits include:Increases useful load (most models)Reduces Vmc below stall speed (most models)Increases aileron effectiveness in all flight regimesShorter takeoffs and landings with steeper climbouts and approachesDecreased tire and brake wearStall speed reductions of 7-21% (varies by model)Approved on Known-Ice aircraftNo additional maintenance requiredEasy one-day installationNo weight and balance change required
