DRAKE AIR, INC

DRAKE AIR, INC specializes in the repair, remanufacture, and core restoration of critical aircraft thermal management systems, with deep expertise in heat exchangers, oil coolers, and transmission radiators for military and coast guard aviation platforms. The company delivers precision maintenance and lifecycle extension services for high-performance cooling components used on MH-65 Dolphin, MH-60T Jayhawk, and C-5 Galaxy aircraft, employing industry-standard reconditioning techniques including brazing, pressure testing, and flow optimization to restore components to original equipment manufacturer specifications. Their technical proficiency spans aerospace-grade metallurgy, fluid dynamics, and non-destructive evaluation, ensuring mission-critical reliability under extreme operational conditions. DRAKE AIR’s differentiation lies in its focused capability to reverse-engineer and re-core legacy heat exchange assemblies, enabling extended service life for aging fleets without full system replacement. The contractor maintains a consistent and trusted relationship with the Department of Homeland Security, primarily supporting U.S. Coast Guard aviation maintenance programs through direct repair of thermal subsystems essential for helicopter operational readiness. They also serve the Department of Defense on foreign military sales and domestic recapitalization initiatives, delivering remanufactured components for strategic airlift and tactical aircraft platforms. Their work is characterized by repeat engagements on identical component types, indicating long-term contract continuity and proven performance under strict military logistics standards. DRAKE AIR operates primarily within NAICS 488190, which encompasses specialized support activities for air transportation, particularly maintenance, repair, and overhaul of aircraft subsystems. Their vertical specialization centers on thermal management systems for rotary- and fixed-wing military aircraft, positioning them as a niche provider in the aerospace sustainment market. They do not hold any federal certifications, and their operations are centered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving as a regional hub for defense and homeland security aviation logistics with no indication of multi-site presence.
