Colorado-based aircraft engineering and certification firm Peregrine Avionics has partnered with Lee Aerospace of Wichita to offer Aviation Clean Air (ACA) system installation data and STCs for the Cessna Citation Excel, XLS, and XLS+. In testing, ACA’s NeedlePoint Bi-Polar Ionization technology has been shown to be 99 percent effective in neutralizing SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes Covid-19—as well as other infectious diseases such as H5N1 (Bird Flu), H1N1 (Swine Flu), and Staph.

“After developing STCs for other aircraft with Peregrine, we are pleased to incorporate this health protection ACA system in our own company’s aircraft,” said Lee Aerospace president Jim Lee, who provided the aircraft for this STC. “This system implements a layered defense for protecting aircraft passengers and crew by supplementing cleaning procedures with an active, always-on system that provides continuous, effective neutralization of harmful pathogens.”

In addition to the Citation Excel/XLS/XLS+, Peregrine has developed STCs for installation of the ACA system on the Gulfstream GIV/GIV-SP, Bombardier Challenger 600 series, and Dassault Falcon 50 and 900.
