BLR nears certification of King Air 90 winglets
High fuel prices are giving operators new motivation to add aftermarket winglets to airplanes without them.

High fuel prices are giving operators new motivation to add aftermarket winglets to airplanes without them. Here at NBAA’08, King Air 90 owners have one last opportunity to place pre-certification orders for Winglet Systems from BLR Aerospace (Booth No. 4066), according to Dave Marone, BLR vice president of sales and marketing. Certification is “imminent,” he said.

Everett, Wash.-based BLR Aerospace has delivered some 150 winglets to date for King Air 200s, 200GTs and 300s. The King Air 90 certification will apply to all C90s (LJ-589 and up) and E90s (LW-26 and up) and all King Air GT and GTi models.
