Key Takeaways:

Tamarack Aerospace showcased its Smartwing technology for the Beechcraft King Air 350 at NBAA-BACE.
The company applied for "Speed-Over-A-Recognized-Course" records following two long-distance flights, including a 2,033 nm nonstop leg, demonstrating the modified King Air's capabilities.
These record attempts aimed to highlight the Smartwing's benefits, such as double-digit fuel efficiency savings, increased range, and enhanced stability for both military and business applications.

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.
