    So...now that the hoopla is over, what is the difference between a 'sharklet' and a winglet- they look the same

    Winglets are so Boeingish... Sharklets are much more cool, Airbusy like... it goes well with the joystick controls...

    It should be called a Tail-let as it looks more like a tail than a wing but that's just me ...

    Ah...but never fear. We poor Boeing pukes are not satisfied with mere oceanic-sounding "sharklets". We will soon be sporting extra-terrestrial sounding "split scimitar" winglets!

    The funny thing is that the Split Scimitar Winglets look very much like a shark's tail fin.
