Aviation Partners (API), along with its Aviation Partners Boeing (APB) joint venture, has calculated that its unique Blended Winglet and Split Scimitar Winglet technologies have now saved the world's commercial and business jet operators an estimated nine billion gallons of jet fuel, resulting in a corresponding global reduction of over 95 million tons of CO² emissions.

Blended Winglets have been installed on over 8,500 aircraft including the Gulfstream II, BBJ, Hawker 800, Boeing 737, 757 and 767, and Falcon 2000, 900 and 50. Split Scimitar Winglets are now installed on over 1,100 aircraft including the Boeing 737 and BBJ.

APB and API expect the cumulative fuel savings from their technology to exceed 10 billion gallons by September of 2019. “We look back over the past 20 years with amazement at how our idea to mitigate a trans-continental business jet fuel stop has utterly transformed the shape of global aviation,” says API founder and chief executive officer and APB chairman Joe Clark. “We are extremely proud of our position as a market leader in aviation fuel conservation and emission reduction technology, and we will continue to look for ways to both further adapt our current products and develop new technologies toward ever improving the efficiency and performance of aircraft.”
