No winglets on this new Jumbo? Or are they just not installed yet?

raked wingtips.. . But not "wingletted" the way as we know it on the 747 dash 400 ....

Thanks, I couldn´t remember what wings the B747-8 would have. Same as the B777-300 then.

yes you are right.
btw It is a very nice plane, I have seen it while was at the factory for a tour. It was almost ready for roll out.
