Wingtip devices may be fitted for various reasons, they often combine more than one function and usually occupy a substantial part of the stabilizer, just belong the aileron spar. Winglets allow decreasing fuel consumption of over 10%. But with the development of new generations of aircraft, it is not always appropriate to take into account the stability and controllability of the flight. Because there is a need to improve the existing designs in the paper proposed new concept of winglets.
