United Parcel Service, Inc. unveiled new look for its Boeing 767s by adding winglets as part of its sustainability efforts to save fuel and reduce emissions. These wingtip devices, which are arrow-shaped surfaces attached to the tip of each wing, enhance the overall efficiency of the aircraft, saving fuel by reducing drag while also lowering noise emissions by improving take-off performance. The modifications will save UPS more than six million gallons of fuel each year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 62,000 metric tonnes. UPS estimates approximately a 4% fuel savings on each 767 flight. The modifications will add approximately five and a half feet of span to each wing, and each winglet is 11 feet tall. Aircraft weight will increase by nearly 3,000 pounds due to the weight of the winglets and the extensive structural reinforcement of the wing structure. Even at this size and weight, the winglets will still reduce the amount of fuel used per flight. Winglets improve the aerodynamics of the wing by extending the length of the wing and reducing the amount of drag, which is the force that opposes an aircraft's motion in the air. The winglet project is a sustainability initiative implemented by UPS Airlines. The company already operates one of the cargo sector's youngest and most fuel-efficient air fleet, and is working to reduce its carbon intensity an additional 20% by 2020 from a 2005 baseline. Other highlights of the airline's fuel conservation efforts include computer-optimized flight routes, aircraft taxi time management, and alternate-fuel ground support equipment.
