English term or phrase: bladeletts and wingletts
Could anyone pls help out with these two expressions: bladeletts and wingletts. Context is a helicopter, which normally disposes of blades (pás) and wings (asas). In addition to these blades and wings, there are provided the so-called bladeletts and wingletts, which are actually small blades and small wings, integrated into the rotor set to operationally cooperate with the flight.
Thanks for your assistance.

Explanation:
...principalmente o winglet (um t só), que se refer à asa. O bladelet deve ficar nas pás, com a mesma função.

A propósito, uma curiosidade, mas importante para os helicópteros (se não eles caem): as pás também giram no ponto de engastamento, seguindo um ciclo em 360 graus.
