14Apr2012, I am inflight KA937 enroute from ZBAA to VHHH. Flight took off from RWY01 of ZBAA at 0800L and after 1hour and 59 min I met the A380 of China Southern/CZ.
January, 2006 - Tail and winglet details of a relatively new (at the time) Embraer ERJ-170.
This aircraft was involved in a runway over-run incident during a snow storm at Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport in Febuary, 2007. It was widely assumed that the aircraft would be written-off and was beyond repair. After replacing the engines and the entire fuselage forward of the wings the aircraft took to the skies again in November of 2007. She is affectionately referred to as "Frankenplane" by the Cleveland area aviation photographers (opshots.net).
A photo of the incident can be found here and photos of the restoration process can be found here.
I have seen this aircraft up-close since the repairs and can report that other than a small line visible around the fuselage (where the sections were joined together) - you can't tell the difference. If you didn't know what you were looking for, you'd never even notice.
Voula, our Montreal Airport Station Manager, took this classic winglet photo during her recent vacation, as she was approaching Las Vegas Airport.
Seen with Boeing's new Split Scimitar Winglets.

Winglet silhouetted by a beautiful sunrise. Sorry about the streaks but the window I took this through was pretty scratched.

In the CAAC Aeronautical Collection at Tianjin, China, one of three Antonov 2's/Nanchang Y-5's, and this one has those extraordinary winglets.
Brand new winglet just installed on this former ATA 757-300.
Strange to think this aircraft has not been seen with winglets by anyone outside this hangar, or in CO scheme for that matter.
Thought folks would like a close-up of the new APB split winglets Alaska Airlines is putting on their 737s. OK, I admit it - I passed my assigned seat during boarding to get this photo... big mistake.
Otherwise, here's a "Throwback Thursday" photo from a 15 Feb 2017 flight from Bellingham International (KBLI) to SeaTac International (KSEA) - album link flic.kr/s/aHskUXTnpL . Thought on Jetliner January 2019 my followers would appreciate this...

Designed by Aviation Partners, these new winglets offer more fuel economy, more range and extra payload when compared to standard winglets.

Wingtip devices, sometimes called Winglets, are intended to improve the efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft.
There are several types of wingtip devices, and although they function in different manners, the intended effect is always to reduce the aircraft's drag by partial recovery of the tip vortex energy. Wingtip devices can also improve aircraft handling characteristics and enhance safety for following aircraft. Such devices increase the effective aspect ratio of a wing without materially increasing the wingspan. An extension of span would lower lift-induced drag, but would increase parasitic drag and would require boosting the strength and weight of the wing. At some point, there is no net benefit from further increased span. There may also be operational considerations that limit the allowable wingspan (e.g., available width at airport gates).
Large winglets such as those seen on the Boeing 757 (as seen here) are blended winglets which are most useful during short-distance flights, where increased climb performance offsets increased drag.
