FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Aero Design Labs
(ADL) today announced it has received a Supplementary Type
Certificate (STC) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approval for its
enhanced Boeing 737-800 drag reduction kit 2.0.
"We are delighted to introduce our next generation of the drag
reduction kit, which we are referring to as 'ADL Kit 2.0'," said
Jeff Martin, ADL President and CEO.
"The ADL team has once again demonstrated its expertise and
commitment to aviation carbon reduction through its continued
improvement process. ADL's next generation Kit 2.0 is an evolution
from our original designs, meeting the stringent requirements based
on valuable feedback from our launch partners. With our new EASA
approval, we can now offer our carbon reduction kits to new EU
airline customers."
The ADL Kit 2.0 captures new benefits, and significantly reduces
the installation time, delivering reduced out-of-service time for
the conversion while generating meaningful fuel savings and reduced
carbon emissions across the popular Boeing 737-800 variant. Based
on feedback from airline partners, it is anticipated that a kit can
be installed overnight, minimizing critical out-of-service time for
the airlines.
"Having served as an airline operational executive, I understand
the need for airlines to reduce their carbon footprint, save fuel
and minimize aircraft out-of-service time for the modification,"
said David Campbell, ADL Chief
Operating Officer. "ADL Kit 2.0 offers better economics and a
shorter payback period, assisting airlines with fuel savings and
carbon reduction including their IATA CORSIA carbon reduction
pledges."
"On behalf of the team at ADL, we thank ALOFT AeroArchitects,
NORDAM, AAR Corp, and the many airline partners who have assisted
us on this journey", concluded Jeff
Martin. "Their feedback and contributions to our engineering
efforts and joint commitments to reducing aviation carbon emissions
are invaluable."
