卡莱尔透露，可以将翼尖设置为在机着陆时低于 50 节时自动缩回，折叠过程大约需要 20 秒。

Of course, Boeing is well aware of this and  had built several safety mechanisms into the aircraft to stop it from taking off with the  wingtips still folded.

当然，波音公司很清楚这一点，并在机中内置了多种全机制，以防止其在翼尖仍处于折叠状态时起。

This gentle giant commands a special kind of respect since other airplanes have to wait up to three minutes before they can start their takeoff after an A380 due to the wake turbulence from its four engines and wingtips.

这个温柔的巨人受到了特殊的尊重，因为由于 A380 的四个发动机和翼尖产的尾流湍流，其他机必须等待长达三分钟才能在 A380 之后开始起。
