787 wing flex
I noticed in all the publicity pictures of the 787 and 747-8 that the
wings flex to the point that the tips are well above the top of the fuselage. Just a guess here, but is this due to the composite construction of the plane? I'm assuming the spar(s) are composite as well as the fuselage barrel. Then again, the 747-8 is all metal IIRC. What gives?
