Can someone please tell me the technical reasoning behinf the 777 not having winglets. They fly a long way and I want to know why thaey are not used and if anyone thinks that winglets will be fitted to existing 777 in the future, like the A320 which is being tested with winglets. Are the gates/vortex generators really that effective on the 777 stopping the span wise flow.
