Spiroid manufactureres claim a 10% reduction in fuel burn during cruise over standard winglets.

Anyone flying a spiroid equipped aircraft who can verify this claim?

Pretty sure the only spiroid-equipped aircraft is that Falcon 50 that I believe was a test-bed JV between WestStar Aviation and API.
