Wingtip shields are described. In one embodiment, a wingtip shield includes an inner surface facing a high-pressure side of an airfoil. The airfoil is attached to the main body. The wingtip shield also includes an outer surface configured opposite from the inner surface. The wingtip shield is attachable to the airfoil along a peripheral edge of the airfoil from a first point of a leading edge of the airfoil to a second point of a trailing edge of the airfoil. A first span distance from the first point at the leading edge to the main body is less than a second span distance of the second point at the trailing edge to the main body.
