I also understand that like a delta wing creates low pressure with a vortex over its surface and hence lift the raked wing tip on the later 777 uses this as boundary to span wise flow, similar design seen on the tip of a Lynx helo blade. This negates the need for any physical winglet boundary and any associated form drag.
