Germany-based Cessna Citation maintenance specialist Atlas Air Service has completed its first installation of Tamarack active winglets on a German-registered CJ2+. According to the manufacturer, its winglets are the only ones currently on the market that can reduce time to climb and fuel consumption, as well as improve range and stability, without significant structural modifications.
Atlas noted that test flights on the aircraft showed a significantly better climb rate and “noticeably enhanced stability” in windy conditions. The family-run MRO, which operates one of the largest authorized Cessna Citation service centers in Europe, was named an authorized center last year by Tamarack.
“Being a Citation jet expert, we can offer an active winglet upgrade during the regular maintenance slot here in Bremen,” said Serkan Akin, the company’s manager for CAMO and MRO business control. “By doing so, we reduce downtime and ferry costs for our clients.”
