What's wrong with this statement?
Saw this on starbulletin.com today...
"Hawaiian Airlines will sport a different look on some of its Boeing 767-300 jets -- blended winglets. Attached to the end of each wing, the 11-foot extensions will smooth out airflow, reduce aerodynamic drag and cut thrust. The winglets also will allow the carrier's 767s to improve fuel efficiency."

Ok I,ll take a shot at this, smoothing out airflow and reducing drag are one in the same?Ally

Boeing does not really make 767s?
Wait, winglets are not actually attached to the airplane.
I got it, the winglets are going to thrust themselves all the way to Hawaii? In an unrelated article, the winglets will both eventually fall asleep and over-fly the airport by 200 miles.

A recent FLYING magazine article would say that people get **blended wingtips** confused with **winglets**. So my question would be - which is it that the Hawiian 767s will really have - - winglets or blended wingtips?
