  • Cool, it would have been cool if they showed a smoke screen test with the winglets.

  • Scary! But i thank the video owner for uploading this. Ive learned something today!

  • What is this, An airplane for ants!? How can we fly people around the world if they can't even fit inside the airplane? The airplane needs to be at least... three times bigger than this!

  • @Helicopterpilot16 Great remark. The flap vortexes are especially important in the proximity of airports. (just as he mentioned) So like I said in an earlier remark; wing tips are to reduce induced drag.

  • @airbusandmustang Yeah the flight controls may be operated slightly, but the ailerons, roll spoilers, rudder and elevator make enormous movements. They are controlled by hydraulic systems. On a big wing it may look like a small movement, but it isn't.

  • Wing tips (or winglets) are designed to reduce induced drag. This minimizes fuel consumption. The additional effect of a reduced wake turbulence doesn't make a difference. What does Airbus care about aircraft behind them? It's an economical thing.

  • Why do people think we want to suffer totally irrelevant dog-shit "music" intruding into the videos.

  • exactly what i was looking for.thanks

  • Why not show the difference between winglets and no winglets?

  • If you follow the same path as the previous "heavy" aircraft, has nothe turbulence descended well below you?

    Also, there is usually some wind to blow the turbulence laterally right or left of your path..

  • This has got to be the coolest thing I've ever seen. I love how even things as small as winglets can make a HUGE difference. And how a slight movement of any of the flight controls affects the aircraft majorly. Amazing....

  • it ahs happened before cant remember the vid but a japan 747 created ir and a 767 was brought down because they were 1 mins away from eachother
