Winglets
So I Binged “winglets” to get some idea of what (and why) they were.
Increased fuel efficiency is a good thing but, from the perspective of the passengers in the aircraft with winglets, are there other noticeable benefits?

Yea, possibly lower fares due to increased efficiencies.

[QUOTE=Jaimito Cartero;14282722]I'm sorry, "Binged" just does not work for me.
I do understand - and this is the first time I ever wrote it and now appreciate that it looks just like the past tense of binge.
Bear with me please, my son works for the Evil Empire - on the Bing team - and because I am counting on his support during my years of decline, I am working very hard on striking the verb "google" from my vocabulary.
(and would someone please PM me with instructions of how to get a quote in a nice little box)

Plane doesn't fall out of the sky (winglets can mean added efficiency which means that the plane can fly further which can stretch the limits of a plane).
