We are suppose to have 2 A320s equipped with them. Once a/c will have Airbus winglets and the other a/c will have winglets from another company we are working with. If it works out with bigger winglets, the whole fleet will be retrofitted.

Take the blended winglets from the 737 and stick them on the A320.

What impact does this make on flying? Will it help with longer range through fuel efficiency? I'm not great with airplane builds and all the mechanical info so any input would be appreciated.

Most people on a.net hate JetBlue. Get used to it.

What really amuses me is that in a prior thread the Airbus fanboys were pointing out how the fact that the winglets had to be added to the 737NG's and the A320's already come with them was evidence of the Airbuses better design.

In the last pocket section we had Dave spoke about this, If effective it would give the A320 a bigger range. So it would eliminate the need for fuel stops or Capping flight for instance BUR. He also said it would save lots of money on fuel.

27 GQfluffy: Maybe more like a 767...but who's paying attention to the engines...
28 TheSonntag: I guess it will be overweight, will never fly, will be too expensive, and there won't be a market for it
29 Mir: It does look very much like an oversized E-Jet, which I think is a shame, because the 320 had a very nice distinctive shape, but if it saves money, I

31 Francoflier: I find it ugly, but fortunately airlines CEOs don't base their judgement on that criteria...

35 FLY764: I think it looks nice, maybe this will help in avoiding fuel stops during the winter months : )
36 Kaneporta1: I can confirm that Airbus is indeed working on blended winglets for the A320 after Jetblue's request. The height of the winglets will be 6'6. Flight t
37 MidnightMike: Will be interesting to hear of the results, I know somebody in the Jetblue Maintainence Department, going to see if he has information that he would
38 DLKAPA: I noticed that too, but to me it even looks like the engines were poorly photoshopped onto the frame.
39 JetMARC: I haven't heard about any of this at work! But I heard that jetBlue had looked at bigger winglets in the past, however, to compensate for the increase
40 Flyorski: That would be nice............ This could be the new 320 Craze. IF they work B6 will have an advantage. Less fuel always saves money and looks always
41 Lightsaber: Wow. Thanks for the info. I was wondering if this would ever happen. I've been for suggesting these winglets before. While the A320 is a great plane,
43 Jacobin777: I think they'll go with the A330's and A350's first...then when they really need to pack 'em in, they will go with the A380-800 and A380-900...
44 Notbluejet: All these winglets have to do is guarantee BOS-LGB service with no fuel stops.... and i would say they are a success. They are not looking to go anywe
