Safety goggles for the walk around!

They look like spurs for the 737

Forget the scimitar winglets, they should cut the crap and do something cool like ninja star winglets.

You got the right idea, but they need winglets for the winglets.

RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF-style…

Way to take a fairly sexy look and turn it ugly.

Are you guys really complaining? Because when I clicked on that link all I saw was:

 

[popaviator]

Shouldn't Boeing be working on the 787....?

 

[Cessnaflyer]

Shouldn't Boeing be working on the 787....?

These are not made by Boeing.

I wonder how the clearance is for crosswind landings.

 

[Skillet]

It's starting to look like a 1900, stuff sticking out all over the place.

Yeah, well, my winglets' winglets have winglets:

 

[Autothrust Blue]

I'm sorry, putting winglets on a 737 is like putting lipstick on a pig.

(yes, it's MOSTLY a perfectly good airplane, but it's still a 737.)

 

[ChasenSFO]

It looks like they ripped the winglets right off of an MD-11 and bent them.

And nitrous. Big bottles.

That's the only way that the -900 would ever be a 757 replacement.

So wiglets are cosmetic now? You should probably inform..... everyone.

I heard the winglets will be a carbon-fiber applique on top of a solid one-piece ABS plastic.

I also herd that it doesn't affect the T&Cs of the pilot group....
