Winglets are near-vertical extensions of the wing tips used to increase the performance of an aircraft by reducing wingtip vortices and increasing the lift-to-drag ratio. Winglets were first studied by Richard Whitcomb in the late 1970’s to improve upon aircraft efficiency at a time when fuel conservation was necessary to save on costs with the rising fuel prices. Whitcomb found that winglets could offer an improvement in the lift-to-drag ration over planar wingtip extensions at the same level of
