Environmentally Friendly
Winglets offer the opportunity not only to improve an airplanes operation performance but also its environmental performance.
Airport Noise Levels can be dramatically affected with the installation of Winglets:
- Noise-affected area on takeoff reduced by 6.5 %

Emissions
- Lower fuel burn also equates to reduced emissions:
- Up to a 6% reduction in CO2 and as much as a 8% reduction in NOx is possible
