Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Nice! I'm a mil spotter, so and I never noticed these kind of winglets before... They're kinda cross between a regular wingtip and the winglets that I already knew. Yep, we learn every day :D :wink:

Best regards,

Hi Stephan,

This is a Boeing development and called "Raked wingtips", so far only on B 748-series Aircraft.

That's not true, the raked wingtips are also used on the 77W/L/F, 764 and 788. The only thing is that the curve is more extreme due to the new design of the wing shape.
