Team TamarackTamarack designs and develops innovative technology for business, commercial, and military aircrafts. Its revolutionary active winglets, are easy to install, create unsurpassed performance and fuel efficiencies - making aircraft more cost effective for operators - all the while reducing CO2 gas emissions.

With values of hard work, reliability, customer service and corporate responsibility, Tamarack aims to be the global leader in aircraft performance enhancement.


Winglets: Past


Winglet Patents >100 Years OldWing “end-plates” The initial concept dates back to 1897, when English engineer Frederick Lanchester patented wing end-plates as a method for controlling wingtip vortices.

In the United States, Scottish-born engineer William Somerville patented the first functional winglets in 1910. Somerville installed the devices on his early biplane and monoplane designs.

Winglets: Future


It’s All About the Aspect Ratio

“Climbing to FL410 in 31 minutes with a takeoff weight of 10200lb (3220lb of fuel) was amazing. Trying steep turns and maneuvers with the yaw damper off was a real eye opener. The stats that Tamarack has on its web page are dead on.”

- Steve BradleyLOFT Flight Instructor


Adding a winglet is similar to simply adding spanAn extension can be shorter than a winglet for the same Aerodynamic benefitTamarack’s Active Winglet system adds both an extension, and a winglet

Winglet = Additional Span

“The ATLAS™ Active Winglet System is everything that Tamarack claims, and more.”

-Randall Brink,ATP, CE-500, CE525S


The Active Winglet System

The Active Winglet system consists of 3 main parts; the Extension; the Winglet; and the TACS (the load alleviation element).

The combination of all three parts make Active Winglets more efficient than Passive Winglets.


TACSTamarack Active Camber Surface

“The largest (and arguably least romantic) Tamarack advantage is safety. Slower stall speed. Slower takeoff speed. Slower approach speed. More stall margin. More fuel at destination. Quicker climb over weather.”

-Scott Erickson CFII, MEI, ATP

The Active Winglet System


Load Analysis

“Tamarack has done and amazing thing. They have opened my eyes to a new aerodynamic possibility and reminded me it’s an exciting time in aviation. You have to fly it to believe it. I urge you to do just that.”

-Noel YantosPresident, LOFT


Load Analysis

“Without question, Active Winglet technology exceeded my expectations - which were already high based on reported data. I would expect Cessna to incorporate your winglets on their entire fleet as quickly as it can be done.”

-John HammillN300BV


Active Winglets

• Increased fuel savings• Better high/hot performance• No compromise in design• No additional wing structure• Load alleviation

“This was the first “production” CJ with the winglets. On first observation I was encouraged by their design as it seemed to solve the riddle of “what” to do to combat excessive wing loading to an aircraft that was never designed for winglets. The engineering just makes sense.”

-Tyson Teeter SouthWind Global Aviation


Fuel Flow vs. Endurance

“I must say that the TAG's winglet-equipped CJ was impressive from takeoff at MTOW, to touchdown. The noticeably improved climb performance experienced through the flight levels is a testament to the success and effectiveness of Tamarack’s winglet technology.”

-Jason HermanProfessional Pilot


Payload vs. Endurance

“I recently had the good fortune to fly N122LM one of TAMARACKs modified CJ1+ aircraft with CJP’s membership chairman Steven Foote. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be a large understatement.”

-Shawn Mack Instructor USAF; approaching 22,000 hours; C501SP, C525, C525A, C525B


Active Winglet Performance

With Only a 26kt Tail Wind

“The Active Winglet system is the answer to all of our questions on how to design a 100% optimum winglet design without having to redesign the entire wing structure.”

Customer TestimonialsBelieve the hype, it’s real. - Justin Ferguson, CJ owner

The plane is steady as a rock. Unbelievable. - Harry Hedaya, CJ owner

It’s really cool looking. But the performance factors are what really impressed me. Being able to climb to FL400 in 36 minutes, with a heavy plane, in ISA+18, is quite impressive. - Randy Brown, After a CJ flight

When I first saw it I was pretty skeptical. But actually being able to fly it, made me a believer. Great product. Good enhancement for the Citation. - Kirby Ortega, Chief Pilot, Yingling Aviation

Took off with GW of 14,100 something - at FL450 ISA +13, accelerated right up to MMO. I feel like the Active Winglets adds something like 300 miles to the airplane. We landed with just over 1,100lb of gas, after a 2,000mile flight. A 5 hours and 8 minutes flight, averaging maybe 20 -25kts tail wind. I don’t think the CJ3 I fly would have ever made this flight. - Brian Rowser, after CJ3 flight

Just did my 1st long trip post Tamarack install and we flew 856 nm against an average 105 knot headwind at wrong way FL410 to Cabo. Landed with 880# fuel in 3:30. Five adults, full fuel, lots of bags, & ISA +6 the whole way and we were still doing up to 350 knots (AOA 0.18). Stunning numbers. Of course winds aloft were 35 knots and temps 7C higher than forecast... no way my CJ would have made it without the winglets. I'm estimating range now at 1400 nm (at MCT!). FL430 would be a big cherry on top. I am tickled pink with this plane.- James Williamson, CJ owner on CJP forum
