The fence/winglet drives the area where the vortex forms upward away from the wing surface, since the center of the resulting vortex is now at the tip of the winglet. [citation needed] The fuel economy improvement from winglets increases with the mission length. [14] Blended winglets allow a steeper angle of attack reducing takeoff distance. [15]
The wingspan was decreased by using blended winglets instead of raked wingtips. By January 2010, all orders, from Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways, had been converted to the 787-8. [167] As it was designed specifically for the Japanese market, Boeing would likely scrap it after they switched orders. [168]
A blended wing body (BWB), also known as blended body, hybrid wing body (HWB) or a lifting aerofoil fuselage, [1] is a fixed-wing aircraft having no clear dividing line between the wings and the main body of the craft. [2] The aircraft has distinct wing and body structures, which are smoothly blended together with no clear dividing line. [3]
They started setting a number of World Records in performance with the winglets. [2] In 1997, API's winglets were sold as a standard fit on all Boeing Business Jets, and winglets were offered as an addition to standard 737s. Around 95% of all 737 customers want winglets fitted.

Winglets have the opposite effect to washout. Winglets allow a greater proportion of lift to be generated near the wing tips . (This can be described as aerodynamic wash-in.) Winglets also promote a greater bending moment at the wing root, possibly necessitating a heavier wing structure.
