New wingtip technology that “will raise eyebrows” is being developed by Aviation Partners and may be revealed at the EBACE show this week. Declining to reveal details ahead of time, chief executive Joe Clark told EBACE Convention News a few weeks ago that satisfactory completion of flight testing could permit him to announce the novel wingtip devices here in Geneva. The U.S. company also might identify two more business aircraft platforms for its established Blended Winglets which already are available to equip the Raytheon Hawker 800 series and the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) and Boeing 737-700 and -800 jetliners.
