Why have detachable wing tips? It is extra work to make separate wing tips and to install all those nutplates. Does it only make sense to have them detachable if they are make of composite and they have fancy compound curves? What if your design does not have compound curves and therefore can be all-metal, is there an benefit to having them detachable?
