Did the original Dash 80 have wingflex?

[Prowlus]

Just watched the "Giant in the Sky" documentary about the B-52
Stratofortress and it mentionned alot about the first aircraft with
"Wing Flex" technology. Did Boeing use the same technology when they
designned the Dash 80 aka C-135/707 ?

I bet a lot of that technology went into the design. From what I just read
about the dash 80 it was a combined effort from 4 or 5 design theories. The
B 52 led the way to lots of technology that I bet is still employed to some
capacity.

My 10 cents worth. (inflation and union interest)
