What are winglets?
Winglets are aerodynamic devices that can serve many particular purposes. Most commonly winglets are seen in order to decrease the effects of wingtip vortices at a certain flight condition. Reducing these vortices can improve the effective lift to drag ratio of an airplane, effectively increasing fuel efficiency as well as providing other benefits.
