That's not an up to date picture. The P-8 will have raked wingtips not winglets. Here are some pictures from Boeing's website.

That makes more sense.

I wonder if winglets really get as much bang for the buck that the computer models suggest anyway?

Yeah, that P-8 looks pretty, but how well will it hold up when swapping paint mid-air with a ChiCom fighter?
