Winglets de todos los tamaños

PHL - January 10, 2015

Winglets, developed at NASA Langley, save fuel by reducing drag-inducing wingtip vortices

Captured through the last row of B774 enroute BKK-ARN. Nice winglet as cruising at FL390, Russian Airspace, with a very clear blue sky in the background.

Airbus A350XWB MSN005 (F-WWYB) at T1, Perth Airport, Sunday August 10 2014.

Another view of the Robert Esnault-Pelterie (R.E.P.) monoplane, obviously with again modifications at the tail. It seems now a very large elevator (fixed and moveable part) with the rudder also with a very large fixed part.

Robert Esnault-Pelterie was constantly modifying his original R.E.P. 2 design, likely to improve stability and ease of contrrol.

Mark that there is a small winglet just behind the engine section on the side of the fuselage.

Mauirce Guffroy (1868 - 1911) was an early French balloonist who later turned to heavier-than-air aeroplanes like the R.E.P. He never acquired a pilot licence.

Nice and sunny above the clouds.

This week's Winglet Wednesday photo could be over any part of North America or the Caribbean. If you could be sitting in this seat right now, where would you be flying, and why?

Here's the winglet of the Embraer 145XR. As there seems to be with every window the smudge is from some junk on the outside of the window.

Sara from Montreal took this Winglet Wednesday pic on her flight to Barbados. What would you give to be in her seat right now?

The first AAL 763 with winglets (actually the only one in the world!) arriving Chicago O'Hare on 3/17/09, about one week after entering revenue service. I think the winglets make the 767 look even better...

A winglet photo somewhere over the west coast of Prince Edward Island.

We have, alas, left the Gentle Island for this year. We are, in Islander parlance, away. But, we are counting the days until our return.

I'll continue to post a few more PEI photos over the coming days, until reality completely sets in... :)
