That would save lots of space at airport terminals, or increase airport capacity greatly.
It goes wingless to the runway, then it deploys the wings + engines in it and takes off.
But there should be reasons that this is not feasible, but what ?
What happened to the previous thread you started about folding wings? The same answers apply, cost, weight, reliability.
You seem to like posting a lot of odd questions..
