BLR Aerospace (BLR) designs, develops, manufactures and markets airframe aerodynamic enhancements for fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. BLR’s 15 year history of aerodynamic innovation has produced nearly 60 FAA STC approvals for after-market aircraft modifications. The company’s primary product lines involve airflow manipulation technologies; vortex generators, winglets, tailboom strakes, and specially designed products all aimed at improving aircraft performance.

BLR’s rotary-wing work started in 1998, centered on the licensing of NASA Langley Research Center’s design for dual helicopter tailboom strakes. BLR completed the FAA certification process and now markets a patented dual strake technology. Dual tailboom strakes are an inexpensive, high ROI improvement of handling qualities with improved payload performance, and reduced stress on major flight components for all single rotor helicopters.

Company president Bob Desroche has been involved with certification flight test for over twenty years and will continue to develop products that increase gross weight and landing weight, reduce critical V-speeds, increase cruise speeds and improve handling qualities.

BLR Aerospace is a NASA Technology Transfer Licensee.
