facthunter Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I think that test was done at GAF. I must have gone down there with a group to have seen it in progress. It's incredible how structures can bend without permanent deformation. The B 707 wing tip could travel a total distance of 27 feet, the major part upwards.
