Sandpoint, Idaho-based Tamarack Aerospace has announced it is working on STCs for additional platforms for its ATLAS Active Winglets, which significantly improve the performance of airplanes flying in the flight levels. Tamarack has begun the process for the Cessna Citation 560XL series of airplanes: the Excel, XLS and XLS+.
Tamarack Expands Availability of Active Winglets
Key Takeaways:
- Tamarack Aerospace is developing Supplemental Type Certifications (STCs) for its ATLAS Active Winglets for the Cessna Citation 560XL series (Excel, XLS, XLS+).
- The Active Winglets significantly improve aircraft performance, range (potentially enabling transcontinental flights), and fuel economy, while also offering benefits like increased stability and requiring no structural reinforcement.
- Tamarack is expanding this technology into the commercial and military transport markets, where the lighter (30-40% less than existing winglets) and performance-enhancing system is expected to save millions in operational costs.
