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,
I've always thought it a waste too.
it must have to do with the wingflap controls.
