Induced drag in airplane is reduced by?
winglet
Why some airplanes have winglet while another haven't?
Winglets is a new feature added to more recent aircraft designs. It requires a special design of the wing and winglet so as to perform properly. You can take an older aircraft and add an end plate that will provide some improvement in wing performance but it will not be equivalent as adding a winglet. The decision to add a winglet involves evaluating the structure and the cost of the design and the impact it will have on fuel use and flight performance.
What are the Upturned end of the tip of a wing called?
simply - "winglet"
Where can you buy a Toyota winglet?
Japan. But not available for sale at present. It would be easier finding rocking horse do do.

How winglets work in aircraft?
The wingtip vortex, which rotates around from below the wing, strikes the cambered surface of the winglet, generating a force that angles inward and slightly forward,. The winglet converts some of the wasted energy in the wingtip vortex to an apparent thrust.Another potential benefit of winglets is that they reduce the strength of wingtip vortices.For more details visit: www.phoenixaerotech.comor mail me at: dinesh@phoenixaerotech.com

Why 777 has no winglet?
The wingspan on the 777 was already pushing the limits on what airports could accept for handling, and Boeing decided that, given potential flutter problems with winglets, they'd just as soon do without them.

What is the fuel burn per passenger assuming normal capacity factors of winglet-equipped 737-800s vs 757-200s?
on a 737-800: 2400 kg per hour cruise / 186 pax = 12,90 kg fuel per hour per passenger.
What position should the Delta insert be placed in?
The Delta insert should be placed in the winglet fence at a point for optimized airflow during flight, typically around 90% chord inboard. This position helps improve lift distribution and reduce induced drag. It plays a crucial role in enhancing the aircraft's aerodynamic performance.
