757 winglets.

How does the addition of winglets on the B757 improve the lifting ability off a runway. I am familiar with the reduction of induced drag resulting in a decreased fuel burn in the cruise, but for the life of me cant work out why winglets should result in the ability to lift alot more from a give runway than a nonwinglet 75!
