Tamarack Aerospace has informed one and all that they are the winner of a January 26th “Fly-Off” between an unmodified CitationJet and an Active Winglet modified CitationJet. This event was designed to be a real-world comparison between the Active Winglet’s performance on a Cessna CitationJet against a conventional CJ1.
Critics and fans are arguing over the specifics of the contest and what exactly may or may not have been proven as a result... though an advantage seems to be clearly shown by the Active Winglet system... the question being ... how much? The LA County Fire Department is looking for pilots for what they describe as an elite air fleet of Bell and Sikorsky helicopters... Think you qualify? Well... you must meet a number of selection requirements. uAvionix has received FAA TSOA for its tailBeaconX 1090 MegaHertZ ADS-B OUT transponder. The integrated device, which replaces a rear navigation light, includes and combines transponder, ADS-B OUT, SBAS GPS, and rear LED position light. tailBeaconX is Aireon Compatible and designed as a globally compliant, easily installed ADS-B OUT solution for General Aviation (GA) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM), meeting current and future 1090MHz ADS-B mandates. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
