Default RE: Dihedral

On those big cargo planes, you'd be surprised how much of the anhedral disappears once the plane is airborne, and all that weight is hanging on the wings. It isn't unusual for the wingtips to flex four to six FEET from their position with the plane on the ground to where they are in flight.
