Tamarack Aerospace's Active Winglets Nearing Approval
Company expects European approval soon, FAA STC by Q2 next year.
Tamarack's active-technology load alleviation system (Atlas) incorporates this small control surface that automatically deflects to unload stress caused by the winglets. Without Atlas, it would be necessary to beef up wing structure before adding aftermarket winglets - a much more costly solution. Photo: Rob Finfrock
