Hawker Beechcraft GCS also announced here at EBACE its development of an aftermarket retrofit kit for Hawker winglets on the Hawker 750. Emmanuel Muntmark with Monsson S.A. of Romania, is the launch customer for the modification. Bucharest-based Alfa Air flies Muntmark’s Hawker 750 for charter.

“The winglet gives the Hawker 750 an additional 100 nautical miles in range and a five- percent improvement in time to climb,” said Brian Howell, Hawker Beechcraft, vice president, strategic aftermarket integration, GCS. By effectively increasing the wing aspect ratio, it will also improve stability at altitude, reduce life-induced drag and provide more responsive handling in slow flight.
