Just Look How Much Aeroplane Wings Flex In Crosswinds


Landing in a crosswind can be terrifying, but just watch this video and see how much the wings of a Boeing 767 flex during severe turbulence. It’s… disconcerting.

The video shows a 767 landing at Birmingham Airport in the UK this past week, during the recent storms that hit the country. Crosswinds reached 35 knots; wings flexed; pants were crapped. [YouTube]
