huh? how does that work out? Aren’t winglets DESIGNED to increase fuel efficiency during flight?
Thank you, sir. Someone had to say it.

They are folding wingtip so it can fit in current 777 gates
okay, so they are still being used in flight?
No, they are in a fixed (unfolded) position during flight. They will be folded in once on the ground to fit into current gates, as @Daniel14 mentioned.

Just trying to inform everyone because winglets and folding wingtips serve as two entirely different functions on aircraft😄

I’m still impressed how long the wing is
Yes, it does matter. Its like calling an engine a “motor.” These terms are not interchangeable. Definitions matter.

Is that same engine as the 787?
I believe not as these are much…MUCH bigger than the 787s. They have similiar names though.
