  21. Re:Wing Flex on Flying the Airbus A380 · · Score: 1

    the whole plane is more flexible than you think. think about it that way, that the whole wheight of the aircraft is hanging on the tips of the wings. remember those planes can take quite a bit more than just 'hanging' there at 1G, they turn and pitch. the wings bending at the tips about 2-3m isn't unusual, they can take much more. if they wouldn't they would just break.

    now those big airliners can't take much G force compared to fighterjets or sailplanes, and they have relatively short wingspan.
    open class sailplanes like nimbus 4 are a different story. they look quite funny at takeoff. the wings are hanging through and wobbling until the airflow is enough to produce lift, then they bend and the planes takes off. quite a nice view.
