Wing flex is an obvious feature on the Boeing 787 due to its curving wings. While so much vertical wing movement may appear strange or even frightening, there is a solid explanation for this. The system also reduces the effects of turbulence, which could otherwise disrupt passengers. The 787’s performance is optimised not just by the wings’ shape but also by the materials used to make them. To that goal, Boeing claims that the use of composite materials in the wing structure allows the 787 wings to have a higher aspect ratio than previous aircrafts.
Due to the swept-back form of the Boeing 787’s curving wings, the aircraft has what is known as ‘raked wingtips.’ This also serves as an alternative to winglets. Once again, this feature leads to increased fuel efficiency and, as a result, increased operational range. This is due to the following decrease in aerodynamic drag induced by vortices formed as the wingtips cut through the air.
