Increase Effective Wingspan

Available for Beechcraft 60, A60 and B60 Dukes, BLR Winglets deliver improved performance across-the-board as a direct result of an increase in effective wing span and associated reductions in lift induced drag. This is done simply by adding span and redistributing the intensity of the rotating air mass (tip vortex) over a larger area, reducing the intensity of that air mass. Installing a pair of Winglets on your Duke is the aerodynamic equivalent of adding 3’ to your wings without the complications of replacing your de-ice boots, or cutting holes in your hangar doors. The vertical span of each winglet is 24” with a 22” root chord, and a cant angle of 15° for an actual wing span increase of slightly more than 5” at the extreme winglet tips. This keeps the Duke’s overall wing span under the magic 40’, a design consideration for owners with 40’ hangars.

Available For:

Hawker Beechcraft Duke
- Duke 60
- Duke A60
- Duke B60

Benefits Include:

Lower actual Vmc means larger safety margins at takeoff, or lower liftoff speeds for short field operations.
Improved high altitude stability for reduced Dutch roll tendencies & better cruise efficiencies.
Lower stall speeds allow approach category A IFR minimums.
Unique installation process allows for access inside 232 gal. tips to repair factory fuel leaks.
Fully compatible with BLR 30-gallon Wing Tip-Tanks.
