I always wondered why Airbus never put full winglets on its A320 family, surely the wingtip fences were not as effective. But now that they're on there they're ugly as hell lol

Nor am I excited about the fact that this airplane will save, conservatively, $350,000 a year. Nah, that doesn’t excite me either. And actually, once the whole fleet is retro fitted, were going to save $45 million a year, but that doesn’t excite me either. What really excites me, this airplane looks really cool. Winglets complete this aircraft.”
what next, A310, A300, and A380s with sharklets?
Can you imagine how big the sharklets on an A380 would have to be? :eek:
