Green says they were supposed to get new wings of 135 ft.(!) span.

Compared to the original design wingspan (widely cited as 112 feet)
135 ft. isn't such a stretch.

Compared to the Stirling production wingspan of 99 feet, it is ;-) But it
sure would be nice to see the predicted performance for a Stirling with a
112 foot span, high aspect ratio wing. That wing would be up in B-24
territory. Oh well, I can dream.
