<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAPI\u2019s Performance Enhancing Blended Winglets for the Hawker\n800 series airplanes reduce drag by over seven percent at Long Range\nCruise. This drag reduction increases\nrange by 180 nautical miles or more, allows the airplane to cruise 15-18 knots\nfaster; enables faster time-to-climb, can reduce or eliminate the need for\nstep-climbs for many missions, and improves second segment climb. In addition, with its unique Scimitar Tip\ndesign, the API Blended Winglet retrofit gives the Hawker a dramatic new look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCurrent resale prices for the late-model 800XP and 800XPi\naircraft have led to a renewed interest in the type; and we are certainly\nseeing that translate into an increase in Winglet sales\u201d, says API President\nGary Dunn. \u201cAfter a lengthy period\nwithout a European installer we chose Volare Aviation not only for their\ntechnical capability, but also their deep understanding of the Hawker market in\nthe region. The first installation went\nvery smoothly, and we are already working with Dustin Dryden and his team to\ncomplete two more installations in Q1.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
