S1C3R1A1B3B3L1E1 is plenty fun by itself, but drunken S1C3R1A1B3B3L1E1 with Mojitos is even more fun!
Thank you for the information on the wing tips. I was curious about the 777. Plus, weren't the wingtips on the 747 added in the 1990s and 2000s? Why did it take the engineers so long to discover this and correct this? As I recall, wingtips were on the A300 and A320 for quite some time before being added to the 747.
Does anyone know the difference in design between the 777 wing and all the others that the engineers originally thought that it did not need a wingtip? I have also noticed that the 777 wing appears much stiffer than the A330 wing, in that it does not sag at the ends. Does this give it any advantages/disadvantages or is it just a difference in design?
Finally, thanks for moving this thread. I did not know where to start it.
