Tamarack Aerospace received recognition from the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) and the European Federation Aeronautique International (FAI) for two record-setting flights in a Beechcraft King Air 350 modified with the company’s Smartwing technology.
The Smartwing upgrade includes extending the aircraft’s wingspan and adding winglets and autonomous control surfaces that respond to turbulence to reduce its effect. Tamarack said the technology results in as much as a 33 percent increase in range on certain business jets while improving the flight’s smoothness in rough air.
