MCO spotters heads up!

Seattle-based API has a proven track record of designing, testing and installing winglets on a wide range of aircraft, and was an ideal Business Partner to create what he hope will be the first certified A320 winglet.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccceeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! but I think the wing fence looks sexier. This should help them with those winter west coast problems I would imagine though so :borat:

On a second note...... The winglet looks rather plain in current form. Maybe JetBlue should think about matching the tail scheme to it. Heck, it is almost the size of the vertical stab anyway. :lol:

from that angle it looks like the airplane crashed into the ugly tree.

The extended tip at the top of the winglet looks like a nice touch. 2nd gen winglets anybody?

Where did the orange on the tail come from? Did the paint peel cause thats what it looks like.

They have one of those sensors trailing behind the A/C coming off the stabilizer so maybe its attached by whatever the orange thing is. From what ive heard the A/C is on the west coast now doing test flights. If I find out where I'll let you know.

Wow, looking forward to seeing how much they will improve the performance on the aircraft & of course, Airbus is going to look perty stupid since they could not do it....

They can certainly crash land and not shatter. The 737 has a long and marvelous history. Nothing compares to it. Especally the A320 series. The only line that I see that has a chance of outpassing the 737 line is the dreamliner. It isnt even certified yet and it has a total of 837 planes waiting to be made. The 787 has a very bright future ahead of it. Now if boeing was smare they would update the 737 line using the new wing design and the compsite body design as well. Think of how that would sell besed on how the 737 is currently selling. :borat:
