Aircraft Winglets Market Size, Share, and Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis, By Aircraft Type (Narrow Body, Wide Body, Regional Jet, and Others), By Fit Type (Line Fit and Retrofit), By End-User (Commercial, Military, and Cargo) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032
KEY MARKET INSIGHTS
The small vertical extensions at the end of the wings of an airplane are termed winglets. They are designed to improve the efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft by reducing drag, which in turn reduces fuel consumption and, therefore, increases the range of the aircraft. Winglets work by modifying the airflow around the wingtips, which reduces the strength of the tip vortices that form behind the wing. The mixing of air from the lower and upper surfaces of the wing is prevented by this modification.
The aircraft winglets market is expected to grow with a rise in the number of aircraft deliveries across the world due to increasing passenger air traffic and growth in international and regional air travel. Wingtip vortices and wake turbulence are directly proportional to the wingspan. Winglets are not worthwhile for smaller aircraft with shorter wings. Wings to smaller aircraft can do the exact opposite, increasing air resistance and mass without yielding significant efficiency enhancements. The additional weight and drag from the winglets outweigh any benefits for these aircraft. There are aircraft with raked wingtips instead of traditional winglets.
Similar aerodynamic benefits can be provided without the added drag of vertical winglets with raked wingtips. Business jets and experimental planes use winglets to boost their performance and efficiency. In the cruise portion of a flight, they can reduce fuel consumption and increase the aircraft's range.
A major industry trend is developing sustainable aircraft components to save fuel and ultimately aim at reducing carbon emissions to ensure a sustainable aviation operation. Aircraft Winglets for a typical Boeing 767 jet, winglets can save over half a million gallons of jet fuel and over 4,700 tons of CO2 per year. So, in summary, by reducing induced drag and optimizing the lift distribution, winglets enable aircraft to fly more efficiently, resulting in significant fuel savings and emissions reductions. The fuel efficiency improvements translate directly into lower operating costs for airlines, therefore yielding more profits.
Impact of the Russia-Ukraine War on the Aircraft Winglets Market
The Russia-Ukraine war has had a positive impact on the Aircraft Winglets market. A raging war between Russia and Ukraine has led to an increased demand for new-generation aircraft accessible for the defense forces’ use. Therefore, growing the overall market for winglets. Additionally, bombs such as the KAB-500M-62 are designed to extend the range of Russian aircraft and allow them to stay beyond the reach of Ukrainian air defenses. The use of these bombs has been a key factor in the Russian air force's ability to maintain a significant advantage in the skies over Ukraine.

Key Industry Developments
- In June 2023, SkyAlps signed a letter of intent with Tamarack Aerospace to install active winglets on its De Havilland Dash 8-400 fleet. The airline expects to reach 14 aircraft early next year. Upgrades to the aircraft's Dash 8s are on the airline's agenda. According to the companies, the Tamarack Eco-SmartWing active winglets will improve the performance and safety of the SkyAlps modified fleet while offering significantly reduced emissions, noise pollution reduction, and "meaningful" fuel savings.

- In January 2023, Ryanair announced that, a winglet upgrade will cut the airline's annual fuel consumption by 65 million liters and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 165,000 tons. The budget airline has fitted Split Scimitar Winglets to the first of its more than 400 B737-800 Next Generation aircraft as part of a USD 175 million deal with Aviation Partners Boeing. Aerodynamic drag is reduced by attaching winglets to a plane's wings to boost fuel economy.
