The Aircraft Performance Company GmbH

MEET OUR TEAM

Engineering Expertise. United by Purpose.

For more than 10 years, we have united leading minds from aviation, automotive, and business around one common goal: reducing CO₂ emissions by improving aircraft performance.

Today, our global team represents more than 500 years of combined aerospace experience — spanning engineering, certification, manufacturing and commercial aviation.

What connects us is a shared conviction: the performance of both existing fleets and future aircraft can — and must — be improved.

Because aviation cannot wait, meaningful emission reduction must begin now.

We look forward to shaping that path together with you.

The Idea That Started APC

From this moment, APC was founded in 2016 with a single objective:

To rethink aerodynamic performance
for the aircraft that already exist.

What began as a sketch
became a development pathway.

What began as intuition
became engineering.

From Idea to Innovation

The original concept evolved into a coherent aerodynamic system.

A multi-element wingtip architecture, designed as a retrofit solution for existing aircraft — capable of reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 5%.

Beyond a single product, this approach reflects a broader engineering principle: controlling aerodynamic interaction to enable efficient, certifiable integration into real aircraft systems.

Learning from History

Over the past 40 years, wingtip technologies have evolved continuously.

Since the late 1970s, aircraft manufacturers have increasingly integrated winglets into commercial aircraft —
accompanied by a wide range of designs, patents, and performance claims.

All of them address the same phenomenon:

The wingtip vortex.

Yet most approaches remain geometric.

Our advancement is based on something different:

A shift from modifying geometry
to influencing aerodynamic interaction itself.

This is where efficiency gains become possible.

Invitation

Some challenges in aviation require direct exchange.

If you are working on:

• fleet efficiency
• aerodynamic integration
• next-generation aircraft concepts

we are ready to engage.

Confidential technical discussions are welcome.
