Hope the 787 works better than Boeing's live feed.

Those wings must have tilted upward 10 or 20 feet. They looked like the wings on a sailplane. That will take some getting used to by passengers when they look out a window and see the wingtip now bent up above their heads.Originally Posted by ZOOOM

Haven't you ever seen a B-52 take off?Originally Posted by indyrjc
On the ground, the BUFF has retractable outrigger wheels to keep the wingtips from scraping. At takeoff, the wingtips flex upward through an arc of about 16 feet-the wings start flying quite a while before they decide to take the fuselage along. The airplane roars down the runway, looking rather like the horns on a Texas longhorn, with the wings curved up and flying and the fuselage rolling along on the mains for a thousand feet or so, until the airplane groans and drags the fuselage into the air.
It's also a Boeing.![]()
