Wingtip

A wingtip is a part of a plane that is most distant from the fuselage of a fixed-wing aircraft. Because the wingtip shape influences the size and drag of the wingtip vortices, the tip size has produced a diversity of shapes and sizes.

Those are:

Squared-off

Aluminium tube blow

Horner style

Winglets

Drooped tips

Raked wingtips

Tip tanks

Sails

Fences

End plates
