In The News Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 While it's an established fact that higher wingspan aids in aerodynamic efficiency, the other side of that coin is weight and structural complexity to support worst-case flight loads. A company called Tamarack Aerospace Group solves that problem with active winglets for business jets and at NBAA-BACE this week in Las Vegas, they announced they're going after the commerical transport market with yet larger winglets. Tamarack's mods work by extending the wingspan slightly, which reduces drag, and active spoilers on the system dump lift when gust loads approach strucutural limits.
