Dreamliner?

I see why you would think that, because of that crazy wing deflection which is really noticeable on the Dreamliner. But no, I think this was just a Continental 737 with winglets. But I always notice the heavy deflection of the wing from when the aircraft is grounded to when it's airborne. I'd say it rises at least 2 feet.

What are those grenade-like white constructions??

Antidote had a cool post about that waste treatment facility on his This Old/New House thread. Some great fishing around that facility lol. Lots of bass and blues.

Those "grenade-like" white constructions are the digesters of the Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Hi,

An airbus A380 wing deflection is around 3-4 meters during flight.

Here is an interesting link on maximum wing deflection on some aircraft

Amazing. That number makes a lot of sense when you look at this picture here of the Dreamliner.

If you take into consideration the height of the engine, the rise on the wing is about 1-1/2 times that of the engine, so that number makes perfect sense even in the case of this aircraft. I suppose the extent of the flexing also depends on fuel load within the wings. Very cool stuff, thanks for that info.

photography is just one of those things the equipment deserves credit for yet fairly untalented people end up getting awards for clicking a button
