The objective of this work is to examine the role of winglets for regional aircraft from a cost-driven multidisciplinary perspective. Rather than evaluating winglets solely on aerodynamic performance, an integrated framework is adopted to consistently capture their effects on aerodynamics, structural sizing, mission performance, and economic metrics.
