gfree··on Boeing 777X: World’s largest twin-engine jet completes first flight
There is a similar example for the 777X though. The new folding wingtips to fit into the existing gate sizes seems like a potential new failure mode like moving the 737Max engines forward. No evidence it won’t work fine but it feels like a hack.
