But after assembly, some areas are hidden in the fuselage, so probably the visible part is only 36 metres out of the total 45.

What aircraft are we talking about? 45m isn't the wingspan of any aircraft mentioned in this thread...
But if you are reffering to the A380, the wings do not connect to each other in the middle of the fuselage, they are attached to the sides of it...
I don't recall the three wing configuration (the two sections of wing being connected in the middle - thus the third wing being the portion hidden inside the fuselage) being used on any modern or classic aircraft, except maybe some World War II fighters and many GA aircraft (mostly high-mounted wing).

if that's true it's a little surprising........9m of each wing hidden in the plane body (fuselage?).......

d**n .. that means we'd be having an 27 feet wide cabin ..?? :o
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
It should be at the bottom of the fuselage so it shouldnt affect the width of the cabin
EHM-1388 Tiberiu:
Large 7E7 assemblies will be transported to the final assembly site on board modified 747-400s. This transport plan will result in saving of 20 to 40 percent over traditional shipping methods and reduce the amount of time it takes the large parts to arrive at the final assembly site from as many as 30 days to only one day. Boeing estimates the savings of using air transport instead of shipping will be recouped within the first few years of production of the 7E7.

Now that is pretty huge, don't you think?
EHM-1358 Tim:
I dont know what it is, but dont Big large American companys always seem to copy ideas. To me that looks somehow like a A380:]
