787 Wing Bend
Nobody's (hopefully) ever going to see the wings flex due to ultimate loading, but it would be interesting to see the graphic for limit loads (4gs, I assume) Gonna be some puckered passengers when that happens.

Amazing, didn't know they flexed that much

shit,dude...........26 FEET????????????????

Wow! 26 feet of deflection at max load! Amazing.

That 26ft is deflection just prior to structural failure––6g loading if my arithmetic is correct.

Cool. Can't wait for the US carriers to get them.

747 was designed with 26-29 feet maximum wing deflection as well.

Yeah, the thing looks like it's going to flap those wings like some goose or something!
