Seeking some expertise around wing flex and "ride quality".
I note that the 738, in particular with winglets, has a considerable amount of wing flex closer to the outer-part of the wing against the A320.
Does this have any material affect of ride quality i.e. a smother ride?
As the wing flexes somewhat more in-flight, is there greater absorption during turbulence and as such, a smother ride on the 73 versus the 320?
Thanks.
