Key Takeaways:

Tamarack Aerospace applied for official speed records for its Smartwing-equipped King Air 350 following fast, long-distance demonstration flights to and from NBAA-BACE.
These flights, including a 2,033 nm nonstop leg from Spokane to Orlando, showcased the Smartwing technology's ability to deliver significant fuel efficiency (approaching double-digit savings), increased range, and improved stability.
The Smartwing technology also offers benefits like extended loiter time for military Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions and enhanced performance in high/hot operating conditions.

Tamarack Aerospace delivered an update on its Smartwing technology for the Beechcraft King Air 350 at the National Business Aviation Association’s Business Aviation Convention and Expo (NBAA-BACE) in Orlando back in October.

Turns out they posted some pretty fast times going to and from the event—and they’ve now made formal application for those records to both the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) in the U.S. and Europe’s Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) for official recognition following its “Speed-Over-A-Recognized-Course” attempt.
