LONDON - STG Aerospace has launched an important addition to its safTsign product range - visiWing. Developed in response to airline demand to increase the visibility and minimize the risk of collision from ground handling vehicles following installation of the APB (Aviation Partners Boeing) B737NG Split Wing Scimitar, visiWing sees STG Aerospace expanding its lighting expertise outside the aircraft cabin.
While reducing drag to save fuel, the lower blade of the winglet also reduces ground clearance. In order to minimize the risk of ground vehicles collision due to human error, STG Aerospace has developed and patented an innovative solution to reduce the high cost of replacing or inspecting damaged winglets. Using materials already approved by Boeing, visiWing is also approved by APB through an official NTO (No Technical Objection) and incorporates STG Aerospace market leading photoluminescent and reflective technologies to ensure maximum visibility in daylight, in the dark when the aircraft is parked and when lit by vehicle headlights.
