December 17, 201312 yr I believe the original 777 had the folding wing thing as an option to fit the airports then existing. No one bought it. The "simple fold" I bet ends up being not so simple. Forget to fold it one time and that "money saving" option becomes a much more expensive flight cancellation, rebooking, and repair. Well I'm sure Boeing could provide some sort of cockpit annunciation to remind the pilots to fold the wing tips upon landing, I don't suppose that would be too difficult for them to produce.
