Sukhoi Shows Off "Saberlets" on Superjet 100
New wingtip devices are designed to cut fuel burn by as much as 3 percent.
Sukhoi’s Superjet 100 regional jet made its first flight in 2008. The new winglets—dubbed ‘saberlets’—are available on new-production airframes and for retrofit to in-service aircraft. Photo: Mark Wagner
