                                Winglet-equipped aircraft can achieve fuel savings of 4-6%, a small design change that has had a massive impact on aviation economics and efficiency. These aerodynamic extensions, a modern interpretation of the classic wing tips, provide a host of benefits that are crucial for today's air travel.
