In the last issue of Aircraft Owner there is a nice ad from Owen and Aviation Enterprises. I states in the ad that the winglets gain 10-20 mph. Is this true? How can adding these winglets increase the speed that much? I guess I am not really up to speed (no pun) on these winglets anyway. I see them on lots of aircraft but i am not really sure what the real true advantages are, with the winglets. Maybe someone can explain how a skymaster can increase speed that much. I am ready to sign up if I can get 20 mph.
