Abstract
The current economical situation requires aircraft operators to start organizing their activity in the direction of carbon neutrality using innovative solutions.
The goal of present study is to desing a brand new wingtip device using 3D printing which helps reducing aerodynamical drag, leading to fuel efficiency and less carbon emission with its innovative shape.
