But aren't the raked wingtips on the 777 (and 764) meant to be as (or more) efficient than blended winglets?

Their -200ER's don't have raked wingtips. The only aircraft in the B777 family that have them are the -300ER, -200LR and 777F.

Ken - ta, I thought the whole family had them.

Any chance we could see this on Qantas 767's in the future? Or would it not be worth the investment with the Dreamliners arriving in the next couple of years?

The electrically-powered dryers reduce moisture trapped in the aircraft's insulation. They typically remove around 200kg of water from each aircraft.

Any chance of someone explaining how this works?
