The proposed airworthiness directive (AD) would address potential cracks on the Airbus narrowbody jets equipped with Sharklets, a wingtip device for the A320 aircraft family.

Winglets reduce wingtip vortices, the twin tornados formed by the difference between the pressure on the upper surface of an airplane's wing and that on the lower surface. High pressure on the ...

The devices would prove to “reduce wingtip drag” and increase “fuel efficiency by 6-7%” but would need be positioned uniquely for each aircraft type. Airbus began delivering its own wing tip device, ...

Leonardo says it has completed inflight demonstrations of a morphing wingtip and winglet developed as part of the European Union’s Clean Sky aerospace research and technology initiative. The ...

New wingtip devices are designed to cut fuel burn by as much as 3 percent. Sukhoi’s Superjet 100 regional jet made its first flight in 2008. The new winglets—dubbed ‘saberlets’—are ...

Wingtip devices, or winglets, manage airflow around the wingtips, reducing lift-induced drag and improving fuel efficiency by 2-5%. Early research on bird flight and gliders showed that higher aspect ...

Most modern airplanes have curved wingtip devices. How do these "winglets" work, and what benefits do they boast?

The airline already operates one of the youngest and most fuel-efficient fleets in the industry, and adding the A321neo, coupled with fuel-saving Sharklet wingtip devices, will provide 20 percent more ...
