You absolutely sure about that? Even the middle of the wing seems to flex much more than any 747 or 777 I’ve seen! I could well be wrong but having seen plenty of videos and photos of it I just can’t believe it’s an illusion. More than happy to be proved wrong though!

It has to be stiff enough for the job! erm, I’ll start again.

Beyond the Lump attachment mounts there could very well be more flex but somehow I doubt it’s very much. I hope it isn’t moving in opposite sync. with the tip, like an Indian Dancers arms!
