SEATTLE, WA – Aviation Partners Boeing (APB) announced today that it has received Supplemental Type Certification (STC) from the FAA for Split Scimitar Winglets to be installed on Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The Split Scimitar Winglet program is the culmination of a five-year design effort using the latest computational fluid dynamic technology to redefine the aerodynamics of the Blended Winglet into an all-new Split Scimitar Winglet. The unique feature of the Split Scimitar Winglet is that it uses the existing Blended Winglet structure, but adds new strengthened spars, aerodynamic scimitar tips, and a large ventral strake.

Alaska Airlines announced today it is now using mobile ground-based air units for cabin venting, cooling and heat on parked aircraft at nearly all its gates at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The airline also announced it has retrofitted all its 737s capable of using blended winglets. The two projects are the latest in a series of ongoing initiatives by the carrier to conserve fuel and reduce carbon emissions.
Since 2002, these efforts have reduced the amount of fuel Alaska Airlines uses to transport one passenger one mile by 17 percent. The accompanying reduction in carbon dioxide emissions is equivalent to taking 130,000 cars off the road for one year.
