Not all the news from EBACE13 is specific to business
aviation. United Airlines will be
installing additional winglets on their NextGen 737’s. The additions will have at least a 2.5% improvement
in fuel efficiency (some customers have reported a 9% savings). This will be a winglet
retrofit that will start in the near future, but no definite timeline is set. Aviation Partners provides the technology and
is the company behind most Boeing winglet retrofits in the skies. The winglets look somewhat like the new
737MAX winglets, but are more curved than angular.
