| Aviation Partners Boeing said Turkish Airlines placed an order for 24 737-800 Blended Winglet shipsets. Due to new wing design, blended winglets fitted on the wing tips, and improved engine performance, the B737-800 has a cruising distance of 4,500km (3,060 nautical miles), enabling the aircraft to be used not only on Japan domestic routes, but also on short to medium haul international routes. DAS will design and build all-composite Blended Winglets for the Hawker 800 Business Jet at DAS's Monrovia facility. |
