Split Scimitar Winglets
On a very large Biz Jet costing lord knows how much, adding some BS stuff sometimes helps the sale, especially with promises that it will go further, better, at less cost Sir -- honest it will. But no guarantees of course. When Southwest adds them to its 37 fleet you will know they actually work, not before. I'm sure I'm way behind on this, but yesterday I flew on a new 737-800 with "Split Scimitar" winglets. One airline claimed 3% fuel savings. That seems optimistic to me, but every little bit helps. Is anybody working on adaptations for gliders? SF
