On July 24, 1979, NASA's research pilot Thomas McMurtry first ran the KC - 135 jet developed by Richard T. Whitcomb of NASA 's Langley study. In a joint program with cargo ship / tanker remodeling Air Force, the NASA and AF pilot driving the KC - 135 showed fuel efficiency that can be generated by using winglets. Whitcom tested several designs in the Langley wind tunnel, selected vertical fins approximately 9 feet long, tapering from the tip towards the width of the base about 2 to 6 feet, and connect them to a plane Did. On the tip of the wing. This plan shows that winglets normally help generate forward thrust to the vortex from the edge of the wing and reduce drag as expected by Witcom.
