Aircraft use winglets to improve fuel efficiency and reduce drag. Winglets are vertical extensions at the tips of wings that help mitigate vortex formation, which occurs when high-pressure air from beneath the wing spills over to the low-pressure area above. By minimizing this induced drag, winglets enhance lift-to-drag ratios, leading to lower fuel consumption and improved overall performance. Additionally, they contribute to reduced noise and environmental impact.

Why does Airbus use winglets?
to reduce drag
Why do airplanes have winglets?
Winglets increase the fuel efficiency of aircraft that have them.
Do planes need winglets?
Winglets are not absolutely required but many planes have winglets added to improve the aerodymanic efficiency of the wing.
What is the purpose of winglets?
Winglets increase an aircraft's operating efficiency by reducing induced drag at the tips of the wings

Did Theodore Roosevelt invent air crafts?
NO- Roosevelt had no known connection to the invention of air crafts. He did show an early interest in airplanes.
How many airplanes does Air Canada have?
Air Canada has about 220+ Air crafts.

What fuel used in jet air crafts?
Aviation fuel is a special petroleum- based fuel used to fuel jet air crafts.
Why doesn't Antonov add winglets to their heavy cargo planes such as An-225 and An-124 to reduce induced drag?
I can't think of any cathedral-wing aircraft that DO use winglets. Spanwise flow on a cathedral wing would be flowing 'uphill' (inward) and would be interrupted by the fuselage.
