Folding wingtips on the 787? If you go into details technology IS pioneering.
Folding wingtips have been an option on the 777-300 since it was introduced. (2004)

Boeing was so sure airlines would buy it that the first 150 or so aircraft had the mechanism built into the wings.

Not a single airline ordered the option.
