A blended winglet is attached to the wing with a smooth curve instead of a sharp angle and is intended to reduce interference drag at the wing/winglet junction.

2022年3月12日 · What does a winglet do, besides make an airplane look cool? They're known to increase performance, increasing range and decreasing fuel burn, but why? Winglets oppose the drag …

2025年7月7日 · Winglets were wind tunnel tested and computer analyzed by Richard Whitcomb of the NASA Langley Research Center in the mid 1970’s. The idea behind the winglet is to reduce the …

2025年1月23日 · Winglets are small upward-bending extensions located at the ends of commercial aircraft wings. These enhancements, which initially seemed insignificant, transformed modern …

2023年9月6日 · What Are The Different Kinds Of Winglets? Winglets are vertical extensions of wingtips that improve fuel efficiency and cruising range by reducing drag caused by vortices. The most popular …

2025年11月2日 · Winglets are the tips or wing tips of an aircraft's wings that reduce the induced drag of flight and thus reduce fuel consumption, among other things. What does this mean? In simplest …

Winglets are vertical or angled extensions at the tips of an airplane’s wings. They are designed to improve the efficiency of the wing by reducing aerodynamic drag caused by wingtip vortices.

2023年6月1日 · Winglets are essentially aerodynamic performance enhancers. Their primary purpose is to improve aircraft performance by reducing aerodynamic drag. Drag degrades the aircraft’s …

The new 737 MAX AT winglet is the most efficient ever designed for a production airplane. This is the story of the ingenious manipulation of aerodynamics that makes this distinctive design so efficient.

Winglets are small, roughly vertical surfaces usually located at the wing tips of an aircraft. They are used on aircraft because they can lessen wingtip vortices, reduce drag by about 20%, and allow wings to …
