Using ARI's revolutionary WingJets™*

 

WingJets™ are the next generation of aerodynamic wing enhancements incorporating

a breakthrough in design - ARI's proprietary Infinite Wing Technology

 

WingJets™ harness the negative energy of induced drag, turning it to positive use - a significant

advantages over the blended winglets offered by companies such as Aviation Partners Boeing

which rely on simply reducing the effect of induced drag

 

Easily fitted: WingJets™ simply replace the original manufacturer's wingtip - no structural modifications are required

 

ARI are initially launching its WingJets™ for the legendary Cessna 172 Skyhawk.

Production is scheduled to start early 2011 following the completion of the EASA/FAA STC

 

A full development programme is currently underway to apply WingJets technology to other aircraft including airliners



In 2010, flight tests using the Cessna 172 Skyhawk fitted with WingJets™ ARI demonstrated

Fuel savings of 5-15%

 

The part carbon composite WingJets™ for the Cessna 172 Skyhawk will be available early in 2011.

WingJets™ come with a lifetime warranty and optional state of the art LED lights

What are WingJets™?

 

WingJets™ are wingtips constructed, in part, from carbon fibre composite material making

for a sleek finish and added strength and durability. WingJets™ weigh little more than the existing tips they replace.

 

They incorporate navigation and strobe lights and utilize existing electrical power supplies

The fitting of these tips is identical to the wingtips they replace - in the case of the Cessna 172SP Skyhawk

that is 12 holes to house the 12 machine screws required for attachment. Installing a WingJet's tip should take

engineers/mechanics little more than one hour, with no requirement for specialist tools.
