Nasty. First 757 with Winglets

[Intentional Left Bank]

I thought all aeroplanes looked good with winglets--until I saw a Caravan with 'em. Hideous.

I think that hats can be sexy,
however I also think that they where them to hide the reciding hair line...

Is that why all of the Seneca grads keep going to work at Mcdonalds? All those sexy girls in hats?

[wha happen]

nice, corn-shoot, nice. keep em comin.

[Jaques Strappe]

Which one's at Mcdonalds are Seneca grads? The girls with the hats?

That 777 appears to have a sheared wingtip. which moves the wake outboard without increasing tip loading. barnaby wainfan did an article explaining wingtip/ winglet design.... in the end to reduce induced drag, increase the span. however due to other constraints, ie: gate size, existing tooling, wing bending moment etc.... winglets are used. sure looks sexy though

my fault the actual term is a raked wingtip

[Baby Waboose]

It is a Tupolev 204. Looks just like a 757, except it has winglets. It even has Western engines. Boy those Russians are original. NOT!

They even have an Airbus 300 ripoff.
