Hawaiian Airlines 767 gets Winglets

[garuda330]

It seems all Airbus fleet have a winglet...

except the A350XWB

[wtbap26]

@garuda330 A350 XWB does have winglets, they're just blended rather than the current A330/340 angled ones.

@garuda330 actually, not all Airbus aircraft have always had winglets. The A300-600A and -600B didn't have them, and it wasn't until the -600R (they skipped CDEFGHIJKLMNOP and Q - LOL) that they added the small wing fences currently being used. Also, the A320 didn't always have winglets. If you look at the movies of the A320's back when they first came out, they didn't have them. And the A350XWB has sort of blended winglets.

@airbusisawesome Raked wings

[trollydodger]

Nice video! Any chance these winglets could get fitted to a319,a320,a318,a321's? what does the arrow tips do for those aircrafts?

@SkyWestCRJPilot I saw a Hawaiian 767 with winglets flying over my house coming from paine field

[yoyoyoyoshua]

american airlines tested the 767 winglet

[KrazyTrain18]

flew to maui from seattle on a 767 with winglets

[aircrap455]

so umm theses 767 winglets are enormous?,unlike a 737 or 747 why are these ones king kong

[scaremenga]

Can anyone explain why Hawaiian is switching to an Airbus fleet? They've been Boeing loyal, and a fleet of 787's and 777's could have worked just as well. I doubt Boeing's 777 line is backed up, and the A350's EIS will be much later than the 787's.

@scaremenga They did say they wanted fuel efficiency as a top priority, and I assume they picked the A332 because they could get them on their fleet a lot quicker than the 787. As for the A350's generally most airlines choosing the A350 are choosing it for the bigger capacity, like how United is using it to replace their 747s while using the 787 to replace their 757 and 767 fleet.

[scaremenga]

@ChainChomp2 The choice for A330's makes sense, as it's a more than capable replacement to the 767, and is obviously ready before the 787. On the other hand, a 777 would be an equal or better choice for an airline wanting to increase their capacity, more range, more passengers. That being said, I've thought about this matter. And Airbus does have a better offer.. for a small-ish airline like HA, it makes sense to go one way or the other. Clearly, they've chosen Airbus.

alright guys... i get it

enough responses

[INFORISISY]

who ever downthumbed my comment was an ass

its called asking

[INFORISISY]

whats the significance of having winglets?

[INFORISISY]

oh nvm

(didnt watch vid lol)

[avidgamer32]

it decreases the effect of negative drag saving fuel and making it less turbulent.

[betterdenu452]

more range greater effiency less fuel= more money

[guzek6]

saves fuel and drag so it saves money

[roryj123ok]

saves 6% fuel amounting 2 milions in savings in fuel cost  over years

[TheAirbusGuy]

@INFORISISY it extends range and makes it more fuel effiecent
