Ne ne !!!
This is NOT the final design of A320-winglets. Airbus says:
"The trials, which began on 4th April with a five hour and five minute flight, will investigate two different designs of winglet, one designed by Airbus and the other designed by Winglet Technologies, a U.S. based company."
And...
"All winglets and wingtip fences work by acting as a barrier between the high-pressure air below the wing and the low-pressure air above it. They reduce the tendency of air to curl up into vortices at the wingtip and, in so doing, reduce drag - and hence fuel-burn - as well as improving aerodynamic efficiency leading to potential improvements in take-off and climb performance."
