BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) I notice that planes are progressively being painted with the tip of their (?) fairings on wings with red paint. And from a.net pics, looks like SQ's first A380 will also have the bottom bit of its winglets also similarly painted. Anyone can confirm what is the purpose ? And is this likely to be an industry standard in time to come ? Edited September 14, 2007 by BC Tam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 14, 2007 Nope, at the very least Nippon Cargo Airline's 744F's have the red tips. (My first point of reference, my 1:400 version. Then checked on a.net ! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted September 14, 2007 Anyone can confirm what is the purpose ? Better visibility...anti collision by ground vehicle... Fokker 70/100 have this at the right-hand wing inner-fairing as well, where all the loading and unloading is done... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
