Tamarack continues to expand availability of its Atlas Active Winglets with the naming of Atlas Air Service as an authorized sales and service center. The Germany-based business jet services provider will increase the presence of the Tamarack winglets in Europe. Founded in 1970, Atlas Air employs 250 at its locations in Bremen, Ganderkesee, Paderborn, and Augsburg.

“We are constantly looking for new ways to optimize our clients' aircraft,” said Atlas Air Service CTO Gregor Bremer, adding the Atlas winglets improve operators’ efficiency. “It is currently the only aerodynamic technology on the market with which ascent time and fuel consumption can be reduced and range, as well as aircraft stability can be increased, without structural reinforcement—saving a lot of time and costs.”

Since first securing approval for the original CitationJet, CJ1, and CJ1+ in 2016, Tamarack has certified the winglets on the CJ2, CJ3, and M2. The company has been looking at other potential applications, such as the Embraer Phenoms and Citation Mustang.

The Atlas winglets use a built-in load-alleviation device called Tacs (Tamarack Active Camber Surface), along with a wing extension and winglet to improve aerodynamics without the need for structural reinforcement.
