Active winglets certified for Cessna Citation jets

TamarackAerospace Group released that the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) granted a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for its ATLAS brand Active Winglet system to be installed on the Cessna (model CE525) CitationJet and its variants; the CJ; CJ1; CJ1+. EASA certification for the Cessna M2 will follow in March, 2016. US certification by the FAA for all four variants is expected by this summer. Certification of Tamarack Aerospace’s Active Winglet technology culminates a three year effort that included more than 300 hours of test flights on its testbed aircraft N86LA, a ‘straight CJ’ C525-0012, built in 1992. During that time the jet has consistently flown at Max Takeoff Weight to its ceiling limit of FL410 in around 30 minutes or less.
