What It Is
BLR’s Winglet System for your Beech King Air 90, 200, or 300 is an aluminum wing tip, carbon fiber winglet and integrated position, recognition and strobe lighting. The Winglet System increases overall wingspan by 3 feet 5 inches, providing an increase in wing aspect ratio and a valuable reduction in induced drag.
Installation of the Winglet System can be accomplished in approximately one week and will require paint to match existing color scheme. Extended length de-icing boots are available as an option.
What It Does
The Winglet System increases wing aspect ratio to reduce induced drag and allows your King Air 90, 200, or 300 to fly faster on less fuel. In addition, the Winglet acts as a physical pressure barrier, preserving valuable lift at the outboard extremity of the wing.
By increasing wing efficiency, the BLR Winglet System provides superior handling qualities during slow flight, OEI and at higher flight levels.
