HuskerFan2 Do you even CB bro?

Having the tips of the wing change configuration like that during flight seems too risky to me.

I'm ignorant, but what is the big deal about folding down 10-20 feet of wing?

Probably provides a little more lift during takeoff and more efficient flight

Better lift during flight and the ability to fit into Code E gates.

For anyone. There's hardly leg room for 5'5 people on planes

Amazing to compare engine size between a 707 and 777X
