    Looks like the landing gear is long enough, at least.

    Here's the whole story. Note that the wings are pretty much kept folded the whole time the aircraft is on the ground; they actually resemble winglets in that position.

    Also, while the aircraft model is shown as "777X" in several places, the large "9" on the fin belies the eventual designation.
