The AI overview describes a blended winglet thus:-
Blended winglets are wingtip devices that seamlessly integrate with the main wing, reducing aerodynamic drag and improving fuel efficiency They are characterised by a smooth, outward curve that blends into the wing. This design helps to minimize wingtip vortices, which are areas of high drag caused by airflow at the wingtips.
The bold typing is my own. Below there is an photographic illustration:-
What would be the best Greek word to describe such an integrated winglet? ενσωματωμένος? Is there a good single Greek word to embrace the idea of moulded/ blended/integrated?
The opposite is a raked wingtip which one could translate as ακροπτερύγιο με κλίση (raked wingtip) where the tip of the wing is separate from the main body. These terms viz. ‘raked’ wingtip and ‘blended winglet/wingtip’ are now the only terms I need to ask about.
