AIRBUS - has a about 140Lbs of Gust Load Alleviation clap trap to relieve wing root bending moments - I gotta believe they are either worried about flutter OR ultimate loading .. Boeing has a key lead over Bus in two areas - engine -to-wing integration & aeroelastics .. Boeing historically does not use Gust Load Alleviation systems - except to improve ride comfort ..
