Good morning. I have been looking around and can't find anything to answer my question so I guess I will have to ask.
Is there a way to add winglets to all of my 737's now that they are available, or do I have to add them one at a time to each aircraft? I have added them to a few of the 737's, but it seems there should be a faster way of doing it. Thanks for you help.

There is no faster way at this time. A suggestion has been logged for mass winglet additions.

At the time the only way to install winglets is to do it aircraft by aircraft. It is a long and boring process but it is worth it :P

They increase lift by reducing the wingtip vortices. Increased lift = reduced engine power to sustain level flight = better economy.

1:20 onwards should help explain the answer
