Sorry if this is already a topic. Just from looking at them, the wingtip fences don’t look as near as effective. Is there a logical reason and are they better than winglets?
Sharklets are winglets…
Scimitars :)

Argh this is killing me.
Here is a correct representation of winglet types:
- Blended Winglets marketed as “Sharklets”
- Blended Winglets
- Standard Winglets (See 747-400)
- Split Scimitars (Retrofits)
- Split Scimitars (737 MAX)
- Wingtip fences
- Raked Wingtips
- Others (Spiroid, 737-200, MD-11)

I must say on older aircraft like 747-400 and a few others winglets look beautiful but on other’s not so much
