I flew for the first time on a plane last week and I’ve seen planes take off at the airport. It looks crazy. But being on one is totally different like holy shit. The thing just FLIES. It just… Soars… Through the sky! Like whoa man. Wtf… It’s crazy. With how much these things weigh, it’s insane to me the thing can just go up and bam, there we are, we’re flying now. Like wow… Dude crazy.

      No, every once in a while the planes need to stretch out. They get tired from being so stiff. This helps their joints later in their life span.

      Basically. The wings have to be able to bend that much so they don’t break off in strong winds or hard maneuvers.
