13 years have passed since Aviation Partners first installed the Blended Winglets Performance Enhancement System on a Gulfstream II. Since then, Aviation Partners has retrofitted over 70% of the available GII fleet.

Now this visible technology is available for the Hawker 800 series.

Installed on the Hawker 800 and 800XP, Blended Winglets reduce the induced drag component of aircraft drag, which normally comprises about 40% of aircraft cruise drag.

In the process, Blended Winglets also increase climb capability and improve buffet margins and low speed (flaps down) performance.

Further drag reduction has been achieved with the removal of the large stall fence on each wing. Low speed characteristics are enhanced by installment of two vortilons on each wing.

The most noticeable and effective contributor to enhanced airplane performance: New-technology, high-aspect-ratio Blended Winglets which feature a large transition radius at the wing to winglet interface.

This smooth tailored transition from wing to winglet is the key to the efficiency of API's patented* Blended Winglet. It enables drag and therefore fuel consumption to be remarkably reduced, thereby increasing range capability by up to 180 miles for a typical 2,500 mile trip.

In the process, the Hawker 800 series also benefits from a sleek, modern appearance and improved value retention.

With Blended Winglet Technology flying on the Gulfstream II, the Boeing Business Jet and more than 1,600 Boeing commercial airline aircraft around the world, it is small wonder that Aviation Partners is the recognized leader in performance - enhancing advanced winglet technology.
