AEROSPACE DELIVERS 600TH WINGLET SYSTEM TO BRAZILIAN KING AIR OPERATOR LAS VEGAS, Nev., Oct. 22, 2013 — BLR Aerospace recently delivered its 600th Winglet System to Bssx Administradora e Participacoes Ltda of São Paulo, Brazil. The Winglet System was installed on a King Air 200 GT at Banyan Air Service in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Banyan is a BLR Aerospace dealer. The milestone sale was brokered by Alex Fischetti, Director of Aircraft Sales for Aircraft Sales of Brazil Ltda.
"My client needs to land on short fields and wanted a better safety margin," Fischetti said. "We also saw value in better climb performance and fuel efficiency so he can fly longer legs — a common requirement in Brazil." After researching options and speaking to BLR Winglet operators, Fischetti and his client concluded that, "the BLR Winglet System will help us accomplish all of these things and will enhance resale value." "BLR is proud to reach this important milestone, and to bring the aerodynamic benefits of Winglet technology to the King Air community," said Dave Marone, the company's vice president of Sales and Marketing.
"Winglets continue to be an important part of successful operations worldwide, including in Brazil and throughout Latin America." BLR representatives will be available to discuss and take orders for Winglet Systems during the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Annual Meeting and Convention, Exhibit C7034, Oct. 22–24 in Las Vegas, Nev.

In addition, Winglet Systems deliver 100 percent return on investment as documented in the Aircraft Bluebook-Price Digest.
Winglets increase wingspan (by three feet five inches) as well as wing aspect ratio, lowering induced drag. Winglets also act as a physical pressure barrier, which conserves valuable lift at the outboard extremities. Safety is enhanced through improvements to handling, OEI climb, and slow flight.
