Why didn't they put winglets on the 787?
Interesting story about how winglets ended up on Boeing aircrafts...
An engineer at Boeing tried to convince the higher-ups that winglets would improve fuel efficiency and that Boeing should make them, but got nowhere with it. He ended up leaving Boeing, started his own company making winglets, selling them back to Boeing, then Boeing bought him out
