  2. Landing gear way out on those wings makes a lot of sense.

    1. Those outer wheels are to keep the wing tips from hitting the ground. The wings are long and they sag while on the ground, they rise to level in flight.

    2. At the tip, a B-52's wing flexes 18 feet from tarmac to mid flight, low fuel.....payload also plays a roll in flight.
