RETROFIT CONCEPT
One
of the immediate outstanding, low cost applications of the technology
is to aircraft currently available or in operation. Substitution rotors
for flaps, as illustrated in the diagrams below, will result in Turbo
Wing® synergy for an aircraft. This low cost Turbo Wing®
retrofit concept for wings will drastically reduce wing stall and greatly
improve the airport and flight performance of the retrofitted aircraft.
This Cessna 337 Skymaster retrofitted with Turbo Wings is currently undergoing
flight- testing in California.
Performance
Enhancements
Turbo
Wing® Technology provides dramatic improvement in the performance
of retrofitted aircraft by significantly increasing airport and flight
performance in the areas of low-speed take-off and landings, short distance
take-off and landings, high rates of climb and overall reduction in fuel
consuption and noise pollution.
Significant performance enhancements:
- Reduction
of up to 50% in minimum flight speed
- Take-off
and landing distances reduced by up to 75%
- Rate
of climb increased by at least 50%
- Range
increased by 50 to 70%
- Fuel
consumption is reduced between 25 and 50%
- Drastic
reductions in stall speed with a reluctance to stall
- Extreme
low speed flight capabilitiy
- Significant
reduction of negative resonse to crosswinds, gusts and turbulence
