As a 747 Captain I can say with confidence that it’s just stupid. Sorry.

Are you sure you're a 747 captain or just play one on TV, because that is a pretty ignorant comment.

The B787 Dreamliner already does something like this with its flexible wings which raise up in flight. Likewise the B777X is going to have fold-able wing tips. Of course winglets of all sorts are used already today.

Truly amazing for a 'pilot' not to know these basics...
