The winglet of an SAA 747-400 we had the privilege of flying on a short 2 hour hop from Cape Town to Joburg (it was then flying on the Frankfurt). This pic was taken towards the end of our take-off climb.
Figured this would be interesting to look as if kinda I was aboard an aircraft w/ a blended winglet. The entire Museum of Flight set might be good to look at.

From the plaque below the blended winglet exhibit:
The Future Is On The Wing
This Blended Winglet was test flown on a Boeing 747-200 in 2000 to prove the viability of Blended Winglets for big transport aircraft.
Blended Winglets are gracefully curved wingtip extensions that measurably enhances the aerodynamic efficiencies, flight characteristics and environmental benefits of corporate and commercial aircraft.
Aviation Partners of Seattle introduced the patented Blended Winglets in 1991. They are now flying on airliners and corporate jets worldwide saving fuel and protecting the environment.
The Museum of Flight is grateful to Aviation Partners, Inc. and Aviation Partners Boeing for their enormous contribution to the world of flight and aerospace.
