Aero Design Labs (ADL) has announced that it has received a Supplementary Type Certificate (STC) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for its upgraded drag reduction kit 2.0 for the Boeing 737-800.

“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 offers new advantages, including significantly reduced installation time, leading to minimal out-of-service periods for aircraft conversions. It also delivers substantial fuel savings and cuts carbon emissions for the widely-used Boeing 737-800. In response to feedback from airline partners, the kit is expected to be installable overnight, further reducing downtime for 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.”
