12 JUL 06: JAVELIN UPGRADES

Changes to the wing are part of a final batch of design upgrades for the Javelin jet before it goes into production.

ATG, the Colorado company developing the two-seat military and personal jet says the wingspan is being increased by 1.85ft and the wing area by 29 sq ft to achieve a lower stall speed.
The wings are also being fitted with Fowler flaps and leading edge flaps.

Aerodynamicists expect these wing improvements to yield a 5 to 7 knot decrease in stall speed, lowering Javelin’s stall speed to 90 knots.

“ATG has always emphasised safety as a priority,” said Charlie Johnson, president of ATG. “A lower stall speed provides an extra margin of safety during the critical takeoff and landing phases.”
