With the "Natural Laminar Flow" properties of the 737 MAX AT Winglet, this is solved by Boeing using detailed design, surface materials and coatings that enable laminar – or smoother – airflow over the winglet. This further reduces drag and increases fuel efficiency.

Oct 24, 2022 · The 737 MAX is fitted with Boeing's trademark split winglets, also called split-scimitar winglets. Dubbed the 737 MAX AT Winglet, they are a unique design incorporating features from blended, split-scimitar and raked winglets.

Mar 11, 2025 · Explore the differences between Boeing 737 winglets and the MAX, focusing on performance, efficiency, and safety advancements.

Boeing has now developed, built* and are installing their own winglets for the 737 MAX family. The "Advanced Technology" winglet combines rake tip technology with a dual feather winglet concept into one advanced treatment for the wings of the 737 MAX.". They are split-tipped, straight-edged winglets for the 737 MAX. (see photo below)

Advanced technology winglets are the most efficient ever designed for a production airplane, because of the combination of advanced design and manufacturing techniques allowing for natural laminar flow. The winglets reduce fuel burn by approximately 2 percent. *Compared to Next-Generation 737.

Nov 22, 2023 · Overall, the split winglets on the 737 Max play a crucial role in enhancing fuel efficiency, reducing drag, increasing lift, and improving the overall performance of the aircraft.
