A320 Sharklet wingtip

Sharklets, which have been specially designed for the Airbus A320 Family, will reduce fuel burn by up to 3.5 percent, giving an annual CO2 reduction of around 700 tonnes per aircraft.

 This is equivalent to the CO2 produced by around 200 cars annually. Sharklets are now offered as an option on new-build aircraft, and are standard on the A320neo Family.

Sharklet wingtip devices will add over 100 nautical miles in range, increase payload by more than 500 kg. and improve takeoff performance
