Lease to Own: Tamarack Makes Active Winglet Ownership Easier Than Ever

Tamarack Aerospace introduced a new Lease to Own program in an exciting move intended to grow their impressive fleet of nearly 200 Active Winglet-equipped aircraft. We sat down with Jacob Klinginsmith, President of Tamarack Aerospace, and Tim Smith, the West Coast Sales Director, to learn all the details.

Interviewer: Good afternoon, gents! Let's start with some of the basics. Almost everyone in the CJ community knows of or has heard about Active Winglets, but for those out there who still think these are just old-school passive winglets, Jacob, could you please explain a few of the technical aspects of what makes this technology so different?

‍Jacob Klinginsmith: Sure! Our Active Winglets combine three unique elements; a lightweight wing extension, a composite winglet, and our patented, autonomous ATLAS® load alleviation system. Uncompromised aerodynamically, these systems work in unison to help increase range, reduce fuel consumption, and maximize climb performance of nearly any fixed-wing aircraft. This dramatically reduces the weight required for traditional winglet systems, making our Active Winglets a significant step forward in technology.

‍Interviewer: Thanks, Jacob! I think more people should really check out the Testimonial Page on the Tamarack website. There are so many great stories out there from professional pilots who have been flying with Active Winglets, many of whom have owned multiple aircraft with Active Winglets. Speaking of the Tamarack Family, Eric, what are your thoughts about the technology, and who would you say benefits most from having them installed?

‍Eric Cunningham: Active Winglets are for every CJ owner — period. With our fleet already making up nearly 10% of all CitationJets, the numbers and data we have to work with speak volumes. Without Active Winglets, your CJ just isn't performing at its peak potential. You're missing out on a lot of benefits and savings — both in time and money, two of everyone's most valuable assets that shouldn't be wasted.

‍Jacob Klinginsmith: Absolutely, Eric — great points. That's why our new Lease to Own program is perfect for fleet operations, aircraft brokerage firms looking to upgrade aircraft to make them more appealing for sale, or anyone looking to gain the benefits of Active Winglets right now. It's a great way to transform your jet and start maximizing each and every flight.

‍Interviewer: Thanks, fellas. So, Eric, what can someone who upgrades their jet with Active Winglets expect to see in terms of fuel savings?

‍Eric Cunningham: Great question — with Active Winglets, you're going to significantly increase fuel efficiency, in all the right conditions, by up to 33%. Add that up, and it becomes a pretty big bonus for any operator. Additionally, you're going to immediately enhance the VREF value of the aircraft, making it a more attractive option for potential buyers IF you ever decide to sell.

‍Jacob Klinginsmith: And with our Lease to Own program, aircraft owners get to start saving money and fuel right now — making it a real win-win as far as upgrades go.

‍Eric Cunningham: Our Active Winglets aren't just about improving aerodynamics; they're about providing a better, safer, and more efficient flying experience. And with our new Lease to Own program, we're making our technology accessible to even more members of the aviation community.

‍Interviewer: Well, I don't see how anyone can park a flat-wing next to an Active Winglet-equipped CJ and not immediately feel like they're missing out. And with 3 Transformation Centers across the globe — plus the new Lease to Own program I'm not sure there's any reason left to miss out! Eric, how do people learn more about the program? Who should they talk to?

‍Eric Cunningham: Yes, exactly! And thanks for bringing up our 3 Transformation Centers. Can we add those locations below? Anyone who would like more information about our new Lease to Own program can call us directly at +1 (208) 255-4400
