Las Vegas: 10/12/21 –Demand for BLR’s advanced performance systems for fixed-wing and rotor-wing aircraft continues to grow despite the global pandemic. Through the first three-quarters of 2021 BLR has surpassed their sales targets across all product lines, offering certified performance and safety enhancements to their global customers. Additionally, BLR remains focused on bringing even more performance-enhancing products to market including the Winglet system for the King Air E90 and early C90 fleets as well as the 5-bladed Whisper Prop system for the Beech 1900C/D, model 99, and the King Air 100, all scheduled to be FAA certified by 2021 years end. Increasing demand has created limited availability for BLR’s Whisper Prop and Winglet systems; BLR encourages those interested to contact BLR or one of its authorized Dealers regarding availability.
“The team at BLR is working to increase the availability of our performance-enhancing systems to operators worldwide. Despite increased demand and supply chain challenges we have kept up with our delivery commitments. We are also grateful for the positive recognition we’ve received throughout the aerospace community for our performance-enhancing system and are proud to continue our partnership with the world’s most innovative aircraft propeller company, MT propeller,” said Mike Carpenter, President of BLR Aerospace. “And we know when operators fly with BLR’s advanced performance systems it will be love at first flight.”
About BLR’s Whisper Prop®:
The modern BLR/MT 5-bladed Whisper Prop® is constructed with a highly engineered structural resin-infused wood core that is wrapped in carbon-fiberglass skins. Each blade is finished with a nickel-cobalt leading edge providing three times more damage resistance than aluminum. The Whisper prop is the smallest diameter, quietest, and most cutting-edge composite propeller on the market. The short diameter protects the aircraft from foreign object damage (FOD) occurrence where the nickel-cobalt leading edge drastically reduces damage and blade erosion. The highly engineered wood core eliminates vibration by more than 50% and decreases the overall wear and cost of operation, including repairs, compared to the foam core composite propeller that comes standard on the aircraft. The Whisper Prop delivers unlimited blade life, field repairable and replaceable blades allowing for a superior return to service capabilities and the best overhaul schedule. Additionally, the Whisper prop improves take-off performance by 4.3%, has lower Vmca, has no ground RPM limitation, and requires no FAA-imposed regular inspections.
About BLR’s Winglet System:
BLR’s Winglet System is an aluminum wing tip, carbon fiber winglet with integrated position, recognition, and strobe LED lighting. The Winglet System increases the overall wingspan and wing aspect ratio to reduce induced drag for faster flight on less fuel as well as improved handling qualities. More than 1,000 Winglet Systems are installed on King Air 90, 200, and 300, and Duke aircraft operating worldwide.
