Broithe Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 A few years ago, I took what I think is a rather nice picture out of the window of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) The Ryanair model is nice but unfortunately the wrong scale for me. It is a -200 series with a conventional wing and the prototype could be retrofitted with a mini-winglet for improved aerodynamics/lift http://www.b737.org.uk/images/737-200winglets.jpg Your shot is the current blended winglet common on most Boeings and some Airbuses like the A330/A340 The scimitar split winglet is about to become commonplace on all new orders http://www.b737.org.uk/images/winglet-splitscimitar.jpg Edited February 2, 2015 by DiveController Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ryanair 737-200 never had winglets, they only appeared on the later models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, the -100 and -200 series did not, including those noisy -200 that Ryanair had. Some of the later models like the -300,-400, -500 didn't have them either but they are available now as a retrofit for most models still flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
