A recent consideration in aircraft design is the use of folding wingtips, with the aim of enabling higher-aspect-ratio aircraft with less induced drag but also meeting airport gate limitations. This study investigates the impact of floating folding wingtips on the aircraft flight dynamics. It is found that a floating wingtip aircraft has similar handling qualities with respect to an aircraft with no wing extension.
