  • Don't the winglets just make the 767 a much more interesting aircraft than they used to be? Let's see British Airways put some of these on their 767's now!

  • @TSBA92 BA are going to be getting rid of the 767 soon replacing it with the 787 so I think it may be unlikely they'll equip them with winglets. I agree with you though that the 767 looks much better with them than without.

  • What is winglet means? I'm not aviation expert. Apart from that, I swear American Airline have the most reflective exterior coat than other airlines.

  • @Guywhowearsunderwear Winglets are the upward points at the end of the wings. When a plane is flying, air at the top of the wing can bleed away causing the wing to lose some of its lift. As a result, the plane must operate at higher power levels to keep it at its cruise altitude etc. Winglets prevent a lot of this air leaking away, improving efficiency and extending range.

    American Airlines don't paint their aircraft (except for lettering and stripes). They prefer a bare metal livery.

  • @mcpcshowcaseHD Nice to know that man. Just when I thought I knew about planes. Kudos on the info. Oh so American Airlines the only airline that kept it real then. You sure? Because some bare metals doesn't always have "mirror-like" finish

  • @Guywhowearsunderwear The founder of American Airlines hated painted liveries so their aircraft have always been bare metal apart from the stripes and lettering and tail art.
