Does the Boeing 767 have winglets?

Winglets redirect the vortices, significantly reducing the drag. Winglets on the 767 reduce fuel consumption per airplane per year by up to 500,000 gallons (approximately 6.5 per cent), which also means a carbon dioxide emission reduction of up to 277,000 metric tons annually.

What are the winglets on the Boeing for?

More than 2,850 Boeing airplanes have been equipped with blended winglets. The carbon-fiber composite winglets allow an airplane to save on fuel and thereby reduce emissions. The fuel burn improvement with blended winglets at the airplane’s design range is 4 to 5 percent.

Why does Boeing 777 have no winglets?

Why does the 777 not have winglets? One reason that the 777 does not feature such wingtip extensions is the operational limits these would place on the aircraft.

Are 767 still made?
