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 Blended Winglets:

  • Noise-affected area on takeoff reduced by 6.5 %
  • Take-off and approach certified noise levels are lowered

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
