Aviation Partners Boeing (APB), its joint venture with the Boeing Company, has launched its new Split Scimitar Winglet (SSW) program for the Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) family of aircraft. The announcement to launch the BBJ SSW comes on the heels of similar announcements from APB for the Boeing 737 NG airliners earlier this year. Using a newly patented API design, the SSW program will completely redefine the aerodynamics of the existing Blended Winglet. The retrofit to the existing BBJ Blended Winglet will consist of adding a new Scimitar tipped Ventral Strake, beef up of internal winglet structure, and replacement of the aluminum winglet tip caps with new aerodynamically shaped “Scimitar” tip caps. This revolutionary design was flight tested by API in 2012 on a BBJ and confirmed significant drag reduction over the basic Blended Winglet configuration.
