Winglets
I had an Aerospace Structures Professor who said the real reason for winglets was when the wings folded up from massive g-loading, the winglets would meet up on top to create a new little wing to get you the rest of the way home.......Guess you had to be there.
(If you knew Prof. Howard Smith from KU (RIP, Howard), you'd laugh)
