Cessna Aircraft in late August delivered the first Citation X retrofitted with elliptical winglets made by Wichita-based Winglet Technology. The winglets were installed at Cessna’s Wichita Citation Service Center under Winglet Technology’s FAA STC.

Cessna and Winglet Technology in March 2007 decided to
“evaluate” Citation applications for the patented elliptical winglet, and officially launched the Citation X winglet program at the 2007 NBAA Convention. During the show, on Sept. 25, 2007, the first Citation X outfitted with the winglets achieved
first flight, beginning the nearly two-year certification program.
