Go neo! The Winglet series from DG Aviation

Our “neo” winglets have become a household name in the gliding scene in recent years.

This neo series combines the typical outer design and can be retrofitted to many aircraft types.
Based on the existing profile data of the individual wing and the latest aerodynamic knowledge, the optimal design for each aircraft type was determined in collaboration with Johannes Dillinger.

The winglets of the neo family primarily improve roll maneuverability and climb performance. The higher the wing loading, the more noticeable the influence of our new winglets.

We would be happy to advise you on tuning your aircraft with the innovative “neo” winglets.
