Did anyone notice the wing flex on that empty flight? A rough estimate is that they flexed a good ten feet once the weight of the fuselage was applied to the wing root when the wheels were off the ground. I’d hate to see the flex @ max gross weight!

I think they are supposed to flex, plus they did a stress test on the wing and it passed. It sure flexed though!

Ever watch the wing flex on a B-52?
