The company currently markets “finlets” devices that are attached to the aft portion of the aircraft fuselage. Finlets’ kits retail between $400,000 and $2.3 million.
The company, headquartered in New York NY, is led by Brett Smith (Chairman). Vortex Control Technologies kept its revenues undisclosed.
The executive team includes Andrew Morgan, Charles Dixon and Derek Roberts.
The board of directors includes Joseph Kerrey, Pj Mcgoldrick, Peter Smith and Scott Horowitz.
The company has raised an estimated total of $2.7 million via private unregistered security offerings.
