Duncan Aviation Completes First Installation of Aviation Partners Blended Winglets on Falcon 2000EX

September 11, 2009

BATTLE CREEK, MICH. -  Duncan Aviation has successfully completed the first installation of after market winglets for the Falcon 2000EX.  Duncan Aviation is the first North American center to install the High-Mach Blended Winglets for the Falcon 2000 series. Installed and certified in the second quarter of 2009, Aviation Partners (API) Blended Winglets are now available to all Falcon 2000/2000EX operators.

Duncan Aviation is also an installation center for the Hawker 800 series Blended Winglet program and was chosen by API to be an installation center for the Falcon.

Seattle, Washington based Aviation Partners, Inc. (API) is the world leader in advanced Winglet technology. Aviation Partners' patented* Performance Enhancing Blended Winglets have been designed for a number of commercial and business aircraft; applications include Boeing, Falcon, Hawker and Gulfstream airframes. Over 3,000 aircraft currently in-service have saved an estimated 1.5 billion gallons of fuel. In addition to the 5-7% improvement in fuel burn, Blended Winglets have reduced global CO2 emissions by almost 16.5 million tons. Additional airframe programs are in-development for existing Blended Winglet technology, and future Winglet designs will lead to greater incremental improvements in performance, fuel savings and emissions reduction. * patent #5348253
