Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted November 27, 2005 hmm looks weird.. but an eye opener. Will want to know the reason behind this, perhaps santa claus' reindeer ate them when santa doing trial flight. His sleigh baru fix GE Engine.. Imagine in the plane "mummy mummy, where did that thing go?" Anyways, will it draw anxiety for the passenger, seeing one wing is diffrent from the other.

Ibrahim 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2005 No More one Winglet is ok laaaahh... But More Fuel Burn right.. PS: They Winglet been attach to Wing using what ??? Screw & Bolt ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2005 paper clip........ he he he he... The may face some % of penalty without a winglet...few percent has to be top up from the sector fuel with the drag penalty. Not much... I have flown where we need to have the APU on...the APU door creates drag...some fuel penalty. So we have to cater for that. Meaning, we take a few % extra fuel. They have the info in the Despatch Deviation Guide.. or Minimum equipment list...its a big book, heavy and in there will be some few meassures where if an aircraft has to be despatch with items not operational....
