- bandyaboot 3y agoAlmost the full weight. The fuselage typically contributes in the neighborhood of 10% of the lift.
- happycube 3y ago50% of the wings on a 787 are carbon fiber. Which was tested far above loads before failing. When corners aren't cut building the planes, and Boeing has never cut corn... oh, crud.
