I know. Thatâs why I replied to you đ
Nah not really. You can clearly see the wing continues to protrude out after the âwingletâ curves upward. Good find though.

It looks like a wingtip fence or a split scimitar singlet.
Yeah Airbus call them âSharkletsâ. The reason for this linguistic kung-fu is to avoid a law suit from Aviation Partners, and a earlier winglet design they tested for Airbus. More below:

777 330 MERGE 370!
OMG The Bobus 370 is here!
Time to freak out!
Can someone explain to me why a 777 doesnât have winglets?
Boeing did a aerodynamics study and found that raked back wing devices worked better for them.
These are found on the 777-300ER, 777F and 777-200LR.

Thatâs a wingtip fence (like on the A330 and B747). A sharklet curves up from the wing.
