Business Honor

Tamarack Aerospace Group is a rapidly growing aviation tech firm that is transforming flight efficiency with advanced innovation. Established in 2009 by entrepreneur and aerospace engineer Nick Guida, Tamarack was conceived from a visionary: to enhance aerodynamics without sacrificing aircraft performance and sustainability. This vision resulted in the development of ATLAS (Active Technology Load Alleviation System) and the pioneering Active Winglets, which first took to the skies in 2015 on a Citation CJ1.
Based in the U.S. with global presence, Tamarack has more than 30 patents and is still outpacing the industry with sustainable aerospace solutions. The company designs, produces, and installs its technology at specialized Transformation Centers, backed by a worldwide network of service and training centers.
Aside from product innovation, Tamarack provides the complete range of engineering services, FAA certification assistance, R&D, and strategic consulting, positioning it as a valued partner in next-generation aviation. Tamarack is not only improving how we fly—it's redefining it.
