New kind of groundcrew?

Post by MD-11 »

If these guys would turn an aircraft around would this also be done in let's say 7 or 8 second like in the Formula 1? :wink:
It's a commercial from Aviation Partners Boeing who install Blended Winglets on 737's within 72 hours.
Gives improved performance, higher fuel mileage, greater range and lower emissions.

Now we can also see how big these winglets really are.

I still did not get an answer on my previous question: whet are "blended" winglets? A cocktail?

In fact 'blending' has the meaning of a extension of the wing and at the same time in another direction(in this case up), thus like you said 'mixture' or as a whole.
