A wing tip is the outermost part of an aircraft's wing, designed to enhance aerodynamic efficiency and reduce drag. It helps mitigate vortex formation, which can lead to increased fuel consumption and reduced performance. Wing tips can also be equipped with devices like winglets, which further improve lift-to-drag ratios and overall stability during flight. Additionally, they play a role in increasing the aircraft's overall fuel efficiency and handling characteristics.
Two or more planes flying in formation with the ends of their wings almost touching.ANS 2 - Wing tip to wing tip is also a way of expressing the wing span of an aircraft
Yes
If you are referring to the distance from wing tip to wing tip, it is usually called "wingspan".
The outboard end of a wing.
wingspan is defined as the distance from wing tip to wing tip
The albatross has the biggest wingspan on (or above) the planet. The Royal albatross is 3.5 metres from wing tip to wing tip, and weighs 8 kilograms. The Antipodean or Wandering albatross is 3.2 metres from wing tip to wing tip.
Assuming you mean the aircraft Airbus A330- it's197ft10in(60.3m) wide from wing-tip to wing-tip.

185' It's longer from wing tip to wing tip than from nose to tail
so other airplanes in the sky can differentiate your direction of flight.
Wingspan = (perpendicular distance from the tip of the left wing to the fuselage roll-axis) plus (perpendicular distance from the tip of the right wing to the fuselage roll-axis)
The wing spar on this aircraft is one solid assembly tip to wing tip so it is an integral part of the fuselage. This aircraft is not the usual kingair wingbolt bathtub fitting holding the wing on.
