OMG, its clean!
Well most likely as it still belongs to Boeing.

CLICK! Looks like the 777-300ER has a MTOW 50 tonnes higher than the 777-300! The 777-300 has the same take off weight as the 777-200ER, which in turn has a MTOW 50 tonnes higher than the 777-200. The 777-200LR has a weight 4 tonnes lower than the 777-300 ER.
If you know the 777-300 has a MTOW of 297 tonnes, can you calculate every MTOW? :D.

what are the specifications of the 773ER

no Jeanske, winglets do not hold fuel.
For the tiny ammount they could carry its not worth adding in the extra weight of the pumps and piping

I heard that aircraft with winglets can hold more fuel because the fule make the wing droop but a winglet gives it a helping hand i dont know if this is true or not mind

That AF plane is very clean! Look at that interesting looking Caravelle in the background there. Is that for fire training?

One flight to the stinky air in Hong Kong and it’s dirty.

Those raked winglets look pretty good all the same…

That is one long airplane, how does it compare in length with the A346

Looking good. Can anyone explain the differences aerodynamically of raked wing tips as opposed to winglets ?
As far a I am aware, the raked wintips offer much the same aerodynamic benefits that a winglet will. It reduces the drag on the wingtip which significantly increases the efficiency of the wing.
here’s a diagram of what the 737 wingtips do
this is of course only based on observations. I haven’t been able to find any notes on what benefits the raked tips actually offer.
If anyone else can correct me or confirm my comments please do.
And I would prefer to hear from someone with aerodynamic experience, not the forum know-it alls (you know who you are 😉 )
