Not sure what you mean by "Red Wing" drag reduction as I could not find any credible reference of this subject anywhere else on the internet...but here's an informative article that talks about how the aviation industry is reducing drag. It goes into detail of how the plane's design, surface coatings and exterior cleanliness contribute toward better fuel efficiency and less drag:
