Tamarack Aerospace Group is expanding its European presence, with the addition of Rheinland Air Service (RAS) as a new authorized Tamarack dealer.
The new partnership with RAS brings Tamarack’s “active winglet” technology to Germany.
The active winglets are described by Tamarack as an “innovative, lightweight solution that dramatically improves the performance and efficiency of aircraft, offering fuel savings, improved climb performance, and enhanced safety, without requiring any structural reinforcement of the airframe.”
Rheinland Air Service, based in Mönchengladbach, Germany, will now be offering installations of Tamarack’s active winglets, which the company said will strengthen Tamarack's presence in Europe.
“We have carefully considered this aircraft upgrade, performing competitive analysis between the straight Citation CJ2 and the Tamarack CJ2, for example,” said RAS director of business aviation maintenance Ingo Plückthun. “We have looked at items such as the cruise performance improvement data and also the increased payload capability, and have also evaluated the quality of the product and the safety which is of course well established with the EASA and FAA approvals. We have done this for the series from the M2 up to the CJ3+ and after careful study, we can see that this is a very good offering and we are proud to offer this upgrade to our customers.”
