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.
Wingtip of a Saudia 777 ER. Many modern airliners feature winglets to decrease drag and increase lift, the Boeing 777 ER does not. The raked wingtip of the 777 ER does much the same thing as a winglet, without the designers having to worry about flutter problems that can occur with winglets.

I deliberately 'placed' the winglet at the bottom of the picture, because I wanted the blueness to be the main part of this photo.

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.
