End of the Wings: Timelapse of the Installation of Split-Scimitar Winglets ✈️ Watch as we take you through the installation process of Split-Scimitar Winglets (SSW) on the aircraft. The winglet was carefully removed for a detailed inspection of the upper and lower flanges, webs, and barrel nut holes 🔍, using the HFEC (NDT) method. Before reinstallation, Boeing recommends performing a barrel nut torque check for optimal performance ✅. Benefits of Split-Scimitar Winglets (SSW) 🌟: Improved Climb

HOW WINGLETS WORK? Winglets are vertical extensions attached to the wingtips of an aircraft. Their primary function is to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the airplane by reducing drag, which can significantly enhance fuel efficiency and increase the aircraft's cruising range. When an aircraft is in flight, pressure differences between the upper and lower surfaces of the wings create vortexes, or swirling air currents, at the wingtips. These vortices induce drag, which makes the aircraft wo
