"The new Foldable Wings, resembling the World War II Corsair permits the new Boeing 777x fit in existing Airport Gates"
One of the 777X's most noticeable design elements will be its folding wings. Boeing credits much of the 777X's improved fuel efficiency to the wing design, which at 223 feet, is a bit longer than the 777. To make sure that the 777X will fit in existing airport gates, the plane's wingtips will each be able to fold upward, drawing in just over 10 feet on each side.
