no winglets?
P-8 doesnt have winglets, but has racked-back wingtips instead. They both do the same job, but winglets would be prone to iceing at some of the non-airliner altitudes the P-8 operates at, and while the racked-back wingtips make the wingspan slightly longer compared to winglets, lack of space isn't an issue on the military airfields they operate from.
