I have always been curious about the wingtips on this plane. I realize WE
did this to save space on carriers but I never understood why only the tips
(and not much of it) were folded on the Japanese plane (??).

The only reasoning I can come up with was so they could store them but
still, it seems like an awful lot of engineering for such little gain. Can
somebody explain this ?

Thank you in advance,

Chris
