Aviation Partners is readying its new blended split-tip Scimitar winglet for flight test, the company said today at the NBAA Convention. The new device adds a blended ventral fin and Scimitar tips to the existing blended winglet design and could increase performance by 40 percent over the original blended winglet design.
