A winglet is also a special case of a non-planar wingtip.

A fourth remained, however, working on a maintenance panel on the winglet.

An anti-sliding winglet was added to increase stability at the mid-wing.

By trial and error, they developed successful winglet designs for gliding competitions.

Also present are two large, vocal parrots, Starship and Winglet.

Both surfaces are shorter than or equivalent to a winglet possessing similar aerodynamic benefits.

While an equivalent increase in wingspan would be more effective than a winglet of the same length, the bending force becomes a greater factor.

If the tapered portion was canted upward, the winglet height could also be reduced.

This modification demonstrated significant aircraft drag reduction over the basic Blended Winglet configuration.

Icarus V had hanging winglet rudders and was flown in a reclining position.

In general a strake is longer than it is wide, in contrast to a winglet or a moustache.

The winglet keels counteract the power of the wind in the sails to keep the ultralight boat upright.

The lower winglet was removed and the aileron size increased in both chord and span, increasing roll rate.

The winglet converts some of the otherwise-wasted energy in the wingtip vortex to an apparent thrust.

But there, at the end of the wing, was a jagged ridge, perhaps a foot high, where the five-foot-tall winglet was supposed to be.

A winglet as used on airplanes to minimise lift induced drag is so far not practically seen on sails.

Wing tip tanks can act as a winglet and distribute weight more evenly across the wing spar.

The blended winglet is used on business jets and sailplanes, where individual buyer preference is an important marketing aspect.

The non-planar wing tip is often swept back like a raked wingtip and may also be combined with a winglet.

By 1945 he was producing light commercial aircraft in Dundalk, including the Eshelman Winglet.

The final aerodynamic improvement to the Model 60 was the creation of the distinctive "Ogive" winglet trailing edge.

Each wing acts as a winglet, effectively doubling the keel aspect ratio and reducing lift-induced drag.

The new APB winglet technology will save United more than $250 million per year in jet fuel costs fleet wide.

Learjet developed the winglet design without NASA assistance.

Toyota's Winglet aims to usurp Segway, why we don't know (updated with video)
