What is the function of an aircraft's winglets?

• The function of an aircraft's winglets is to reduce drag and increase fuel efficiency by reducing the size of the wingtip vortices.

• The function of an aircraft's winglets is to provide additional lift to the aircraft during takeoff and landing.

• The function of an aircraft's winglets is purely aesthetic and has no impact on the aircraft's performance.

• The function of an aircraft's winglets is to increase drag and decrease fuel efficiency by increasing the size of the wingtip vortices.
