Scaredey Cat and the Dreamliner

[Major]

About 4 years ago I visited the Boeing plant at Everett. Part of the tour was the 787 plant and they were doing some sort of wing stress test where they bent the wing somewhere between 45° and about 75°.
They explained that the more the wing moved during turbulence the less it would be felt in the cabin. Not sure if it was true or just marketing hype.
Since then I don't worry too much about the wing tip flexing.

Thanks.
To be honest - couldn't tell the difference in noise levels inside. Arrived back in Singapore with a dreadful migraine (but it might just have been my blood pressure, of course!), so I'm not sold on the "new levels of comfort" spiel.
i forgot to mention that the overhead storage bins are really big - that and the blue windows were what most passengers would notice.

yet it's billed the future of flight.

our attention now diverts to the 350 airbus I guess.
