Tigerfish Aviation is an aerospace research and development company based in Norwood, South Australia.
The reduction in drag increases performance of the aircraft and reduces its operating cost, such as fuel consumption.
As of 2010, Dornier 228 NG is the first proposed aircraft to be retrofitted for the RAPT system, besides the small-scale Cessna.
The University of Adelaide, with assistance of the South Australian Government,[4] has performed CFD analysis and studies on the DHC-6 Twin Otter showing that the RAPT system would result in a cost benefit.
Total mass penalty has been estimated at 1,420 pounds (640 kg) for a Dornier 228 NG variant.
