Tamarack first introduced ATLAS for the Cessna Citation family aircraft, [42] [43] and it has been certified for use by the Federal Aviation Administration and European Union Aviation Safety Agency. [44] [45] In December 2024, Tamarack Aerospace had installed 200 Active Winglet on CitationJet airplanes. [46]
Tamarack Aerospace Group, the company that supplied the winglets at the center of the initial report, pushed back after the initial report was released and filed the petition for reconsideration ...
Mark D. Maughmer (born January 18, 1950) is a professor of Aerospace Engineering in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University.He is a widely published author known throughout the world as one of the leading aerodynamicists, especially in the areas of airfoil and winglet design and analysis, wing optimization, natural laminar flow aerodynamics, and subsonic ...
APB expects Scimitar Winglet Systems installed on a 737-800 to save the typical airline more than 45,000 gallons of jet fuel per aircraft per year resulting in a corresponding reduction of carbon dioxide emissions of 476 tons per aircraft per year. The fuel savings can enable a 737-800 to increase its payload up to 2,500 pounds or increase its ...
The Spiroid winglet is a closed wing surface attached to the tip of a conventional wing. Wingtip vortices form a major component of wake turbulence and are associated with induced drag, which is a significant contributor to total drag in most regimes. A closed wing avoids the need for wingtips and thus might be expected to reduce wingtip drag ...
Cockpit controls and instrument panel of a Cessna 182D Skylane. Generally, the primary cockpit flight controls are arranged as follows: [2] A control yoke (also known as a control column), centre stick or side-stick (the latter two also colloquially known as a control or joystick), governs the aircraft's roll and pitch by moving the ailerons (or activating wing warping on some very early ...
Aircraft wing leading-edge extensions – annotated. A leading-edge extension (LEX) is a small extension to an aircraft wing surface, forward of the leading edge.The primary reason for adding an extension is to improve the airflow at high angles of attack and low airspeeds, to improve handling and delay the stall.
It is a main part of their patent on flying. [1] Unlike modern control surfaces, they used wing warping. [2] In an attempt to circumvent the Wright patent, Glenn Curtiss made hinged control surfaces, the same type of concept first patented some four decades earlier in the United Kingdom. Hinged control surfaces have the advantage of not causing ...
