Company Reports That Other Expansion Plans Are In The Works

Tamarack Aerospace Group is adding a Transformation Center at the Aiken Regional Airport (KAIK), South Carolina. This Transformation Center will offer Active Winglet installations to clients in 10 days or less.

The Center will be associated with aviation veteran Mike Laver’s Carolina Turbine Support, which has brokered, serviced, and ferried aircraft worldwide for decades. Laver also has a long history as a vendor for the USAF.

“Tamarack continues to grow, with concrete plans for long-term expansion involving many different kinds of airframes, from business jets, to commercial single aisle aircraft, to military planes. The new East Coast Transformation Center’s location and capabilities fit perfectly with our expansion plans,” according to Tamarack’s Founder and CEO Nick Guida.

The new Center houses the Tamarack East Coast Regional Sales Manager and a small team of qualified transformation specialists. “We are planning to be able to install three Active Winglet kits per month at all locations,” says Tamarack Chief Operations Officer, Danny Hiner.

Quick installation turnaround is a key factor in upgrading current Citation aircraft to become a sustainable fleet. “Installation of Active Winglets is much less intrusive than a traditional winglet, which reduces the overall effort required to install them,” says President Jacob Klinginsmith. “Our installations take less than two weeks, with as little as one week of down time.”

The new East Coast Transformation Center is intended to provide accessible factory installation of Active Winglets to the eastern United States and South America. These services are already offered at the Tamarack West Coast Transformation Center in Sandpoint, Idaho and the Tamarack European Transformation Centre in Oxford, England. Tamarack also offers Active Winglet service through twenty additonal Authorized Service Centers across the US, South America, and Europe.

Tamarack has modified over one hundred Cessna CitationJets during the last five years. Active Winglets automatically adjust to turbulence, leveraging load alleviation and sustainability technology to reduce fuel usage as much as 33%. The company also claims that the system provides smoother rides with safe landings on shorter runways, as Active Winglet modified aircraft reach altitude in under 30 minutes and land at slower speeds.

“We are excited to be at the right time and the right place to partner with Tamarack during this very exciting time, when aviation is focused on sustainability and safety,” shares Mike Laver of Carolina Turbine Support. “Tamarack’s Active Winglets provide dramatic abilities to satisfy both needs at this crucial time when aviation is beginning it’s rebound from the horrible pandemic.”

There are multiple upcoming announcements regarding the growth and implementation of Active Winglets. “Tamarack is a technology company; and the benefits available to the Citation lineup today are being developed for other airframes now,” says President Jacob Klinginsmith.
