Part 2/9:
One of the first inquiries came from Murilo, focusing on winglets and their purpose. Winglets, found at the tips of an aircraft's wings, are designed primarily to reduce induced drag. The phenomenon arises when airplanes create vortices due to the difference in air pressure above and below the wings. These winglets help rearrange the airflow, minimizing drag and increasing fuel efficiency. However, the host clarified that not all aircraft utilize winglets, as they add weight, which may not be advantageous for shorter flights.
