Winglets are aerodynamically curved structures at the end of aircraft wings which improve aircraft performance by reducing drag vortices formed in flight at the end of wing tips. I realize you probably already knew that, but did you know they cut fuel consumption by 6% and dampen noise. So why aren’t all airline tickets discounted 6% ? 😊
Much of the 8+ hour flight back home to the Last Frontier was spent basking in winglet views, 40,000 ft. above terra firma. If only the peaceful, harmonious solitude above the clouds could be transferred to terra firma below. Our society’s hectic, contentious, chaotic environment would bask in a significantly more relaxed, collaborative, calm existence. Law enforcement’s main task would be relegated to issuing parking tickets; many attorneys would be scoring employment want ads; and politicians would be rushing to embrace each other across the aisle . . . I can only dream and ‘wing’ it😊
Here’s a few winglet wonder views that comforted this ole hallucinating octogenarian’s flight home.
