Many of us who fly regularly have most probably seen a so-called winglet or wingtip device at the end of the wing of an airliner at least once. It is showing up more and more often on more and more types of aircraft, thus we felt it’s time to give an overview to our readers about these sometimes funny, sometimes cool and stylish looking aircraft parts.

History, Reason and Benefits

The initial theoretical concept goes back to times before even the Wright Brothers first took to the skies in 1905, but it was picked up and developed by Richard T. Whitcomb of NASA after the 1973 oil crisis – in order to reduce fuel consumption. The first tests were carried out in 1979/80 in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force. At almost the same time, but independent of any U.S. military organization, a private jet producer, LearJet exhibited a prototype in 1977: the LearJet 28 that featured the first winglets on a jet and a production aircraft. Flight tests made with and without winglets showed that the winglets increased range by about 6.5 percent and also improved directional stability for the LearJet- these two factors are the major reasons behind using this facility at any fixed wing aircraft ever since. A winglet is a (near) vertical extension of the wing tips. The upward angle of the winglet, its inward angle as well as its size and shape are critical for correct performance – this is why they can look quite different. Air rotating around the wing strikes the surface of the winglet that directs it in another direction – thus creating an extra force, basically converting otherwise wasted energy to thrust. This is a small contribution but can save a lot for an operator in an aircraft’s lifetime. Another potential benefit of winglets is that they reduce the strength of wingtip vortices, which trail behind the plane. When other aircraft pass through these vortices, the turbulent air can cause loss of control, possibly resulting in an accident.

Winglet Types

In general any wingtips that not end the wing simply horizontally are considered as some kind of a winglet. Even though in strictly technical terms Wingtip Fences are not real extensions of the wing, and Raked Wingtips do not have a vertical part, they are still widely considered as winglet variants.

WINGTIP FENCES are a special variant of winglets, that extend both upward and downward from the tip of the wing. Preferred by European plane-maker Airbus, it is featured on their full product range (except the A330/340 family and the future A350). The Airbus A300 was actually the first jet airliner to feature this kind of solution by default, but it was a very small version of the tool. Provided that most of the Airbus planes (including all A320 family jets) feature such wingtip fences, this may be the most seen and most produced winglet type. Even the new Airbus A380 double-decker features wingtip fences.

BLENDED WINGLETS (the real “Winglets”) are the most popular winglet type, leveraged by Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Bombardier but also by Russian Tupolev and Iljushin. Blended winglets were first introduced on the McDonnel Douglas MD-11 aircraft in 1990 with launch customer Finnair (it also features a smaller winglet at the bottom side of the wing). In contrast to Airbus who applies the wingtip fences by default on most of their aircraft (and the winglets on the A330/340 family), blended winglets are considered by Boeing for example as an optional extra feature on their products, except for the Boeing 747-400. For some of the older Boeing jets (737 and 757) such blended winglets have been offered as an aftermarket retrofit, these are the newer, tall designs and do not connect to the tip of the wing with a sharp angle, but with a curve instead. These winglets are popular among airlines that fly these aircraft on medium/long haul routes as most of the real fuel savings materialize while cruising. Longer flights mean longer cruising, thus larger fuel savings. And they also server as marketing surface for airline logos or web addresses usually.

Just recently the Boeing 767-300ER has received 3.4 m high (!) winglets produced by Aviation Partners Inc. with American Airlines as the launch-customer with Air New Zealand and Hawaiian Airlines following with orders of 5 and 8 aircrafts respectively. 141 shipsets have been pre-sold already as the forecasted fuel savings range around 4%-6% for medium/long-range flights. Airbus earlier tested similar blended winglets designed by Winglet Technology for the A320 series, but determined that their benefits did not warrant further development and they stayed with the wingtip fences instead. Aviation Partners Boeing claims that winglets on 737s and 757s have saved a collective 1.2 billion gal. of fuel since they were introduced and 11.5 million tonnes of CO2 while reducing those types’ noise footprint by 6.5%. It has sold winglets to 140 airlines and 95% of all 737NGs are fitted with them. It is working on four winglet concepts for the 777 and hopes to finalize a design for that aircraft type by December, 2008.

Lake Superior Lights #5 by Winglet Photography

3 1

Hard to beat a nice aurora over Lake Superior....at far right the laker Edwin H. Gott sails eastward with a load of taconite for the hungry steel mills of Indiana.

Before it got dark, a couple of older gentlemen from Milwaukee, WI showed up, having heard the aurora was supposed to show up that night- neither having ever seen the lights. They parked themselves on the bench about 100 feet to my east and waited. As soon as it got dark we got this substorm and I heard some hollering...went down there shortly afterwards to make sure all was well...only to find them both bawling their eyes out. A first-time experience with Lady Aurora can bring on many emotions in people...a truly beautiful thing.

This "NG" 737 features the Aviation Partners Boeing (APB) split-scimitar winglets. The split-scimitar design appears to derive from APB's retrofit winglet design for Classic and NG 737s, with a modified upper tip and the second, downward pointing, airfoil.

Boeing's own 737 MAX has a straight-edged split winglet design with both the upward and downward airfoils closer to horizontal. Instead of APB's nearly vertical upper fin. Boeing's 737 solution is more like a doubled version

of 747-400, A-330 or Embraer 175's, slanted wingtip

Boeing 737-700, Southwest Airlines, with winglets, by Bill Abbott

I'm still trying to figure out how to use the EP-2 body with my legacy OM-1 lenses. They worked OK on the OM-1, although they worked best with film that forgave a 1-stop range of exposure from the outer edge to the center. Less of a problem since the EP-2 has a 12 X 18 sensor sitting where the OM-1 had a 24 X 36 film frame... So the outer 1/4 of the image, up, down, left and right, doesn't matter. That about takes care of the vignetting in the really long lens. And produces images as if it were a 1m (!) lens on a 35mm camera...

The glass in my old camera bag had a 20:1 range, 24mm to 500, but the half size sensor shifts it to 'normal' lens and above, with no 'wide angle'. Not that I've figured out how to use any of this very effectively, yet. Shooting outdoors with the 3" lcd on the can camera body for focus and composition isn't as much fun as you might imagine. In a studio situation, landscape, architecture, parked cars, no problem. For living animals, airplanes in flight, moving cars, there are problems.

But I finally 'understood' something that had been eluding me up to now - the OM-1 lenses may or may not have gone past infinite focus on an OM-1, I can't remember. But they absolutely go beyond infinity on the EP-2!! No more racking the lens to infinity, setting F-8 or 11 and expecting good results. It'll never work. I have to focus at a representative distance, ignore the absolute mechanical limit of the lens and not be so lazy. Ok, fair enough.

In the case of this picture, the image isn't a lot of the field, but the field is 4K X 3K, so a 1500 X 1K crop, for example, isn't unreasonable. The linear dimensions of the plane would be 3X and the it would cover 9X more area. That's pretty much like dividing the frame above into 9ths, and keeping only the one in the middle. 1.5MP, instead of 12.8, its still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...

It'll take 2 cuts by half, lets go!

OLYMPUS EP-2.

Classic With Winglets by Ben Cavers

Might as well leave this aircraft until last, a Boeing 737 Classic (includes the -300/400/500) to feature blended winglets... Although very common in most countries but in the UK, they are slightly uncommon.

With it being the Winter season, Boeing 737's form the majority of flights especially from East Midlands as demand is likely to be low with this example working an Alicante flight... No matter, Jet2 have an interesting 737 fleet which includes 'Foxtrot November'.

This 737-300 began life with EasyJet being delivered new to the airline in September 1998, but was withdrawn in 2006 as the airline took on new A319's at the time. The former G-EZYH became HA-LKR in June 2006 as it transferred to SkyEurope Hungary.

In February 2007, the 737 transferred to Air Baltic where it was leased from Oak & Hill and thus became YL-BBK. Since delivery to Air Baltic, the 737 was fitted with blended winglets to reduce drag on take-off and landing. Air Baltic withdrawn the aircraft from January 2013 where Jet2 acquired the 737 in April of that year carrying Jet2 Holidays colours which look awfully similar to Allegiant Air's livery in the United States. G-GDFN or Foxtrot November is a regular performer at EMA.

As of 2014, Jet2 is currently fitting blended winglets to a number of 737-300's which can take up-to a month to complete.

Boeing 737-33V(WL) G-GDFN prepares to land at East Midlands (EMA) on LS642 from Alicante (ALC).
