DALLAS, TEXAS, March 9, 2022 - BLR Aerospace is pleased to announce it has entered a strategic partnership with Attack Logistics to become BLR’s exclusive worldwide distributor of its AH-1 Cobra FastFin+® Performance System. The FastFin+ Performance System combines aerodynamic modifications to the aircraft tailboom and vertical fin, a new modern technology Inlet Barrier Filter, and an oil cooler system efficiency improvement. This combination offers an increase in useful load allowing full-fuel missions with game-changing munitions load-up. In addition, the Cobra FastFin+ System increases mission flexibility by improving wind azimuth tolerance while in hover and controllability during slow flight. The newly designed BLR engine barrier filtration system increases engine efficiency, reduces engine temperature (TGT) and provides improved engine filtration to reduce unscheduled engine removals related to erosion of compressor and turbine gas-path components.
Attack Logistics is an affiliate of Canwest Aerospace, a provider of Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul for rotorcraft and fixed wing aircraft all over the globe. Canwest also supports numerous legacy aircraft fleets around the world providing spare parts, logistical support and modernization programs.
Attack Logistics will offer similar legacy aircraft services and support to the world’s aging AH-1 Cobra fleets. The combination of BLR’s FastFin+ Performance System and Attack Logistics’ logistical and modernization support will breathe new life and capability into AH-1 Cobra fleets all over the world.
“Attack Logistics and Canwest’s presence and experience supporting legacy aircraft fleets around the world made them the obvious partner to distribute and support BLR’s AH-1 FastFin+ Performance System to AH-1 Cobra fleets all over the world”, said Mike Carpenter, BLR Aerospace’s President.
“Attack Logistics is pleased to be partnering with BLR in bringing much needed relief to military Cobra operators,” said Dave Marone, Attack Logistics’ president.
