Boeing 787 wing bend test

This is a recent wing strength test video on the new Boeing 787 which has a composite wing versus an all metal wing.
This particular wing test was taken to 50% beyond the design limit of the 787 wing without a structural failure -which is quite an accomplishment. Still makes a pilot cringe to see a wing bent this much even if it is a controlled test. Should be an amazing aircraft for the airlines.

787's that are off the line, but yet without engines must have conrect blocks attached to teh engine moutns so as to prevent warping of the carbon fiber. Same goes with the 747-8

LOU,

What one feature of the Boeing 747-100/200 was once thought to make it hazardous to people in the event of a crash over a metropolitan zone? Hint: wings.

I'm guessing the massive quantities of fuel (or as it was considered in those days) would explode on impact, therefore creating excess amounts of Co2 would be an issue. OR prehaps the issue if fuel leaked and contamiated the water supply it would cause more problems.

OKAY! Answer to the trivia:

When the Boeing 747-100 was in teh design and testing process, it wax found that the outboard engines when buffet and vibrate quite a lot, and they needed to fix the problem. So, they figured that they needed to add a counterweight on each outboard engine to stop the buffeting. The solution: depleted uranium. It was extremely heavy and dense for its size, and was perfect, it would be small without altering wing dimensions, cowlings and fuel capacity, and provide the proper weight needed to smoothen the buffeting. It was though to be a risk because that uranium (a substantial amount) could be spread with radition in a crash; of course not true, many uninofrmed people though this way.
