The wing flex is representative of the airplane in true flight conditions. Most airplanes have a similar flex in flight but are not typically shown in true flight conditions.

Possibly..it looks like it.. I think the airlines now starting the think about the future and they see that they must use fuel efficient air crafts inorder to keep up.. So 787 and A350 will open the doors to fuel efficient vehicles.
A350?
