The winglets work by reducing drag created by the vortices that are generated by a plane's wingtips.

Aviation Partners Boeing estimates that its blended winglets for the 767-300ER will save up to 6.5 percent on fuel consumption, or a savings of roughly 500,000 gallons of jet fuel per aircraft per year for operators with the longest average sector lengths and highest aircraft utilization rates.
