The X-29 was one of the most bizarre aircraft ever built—a jet with forward-swept wings that seemed to fly backward. Designed in the 1980s, this experimental aircraft pushed the limits of aerodynamics ...

Depending on the speed of flight (between low subsonic, high subsonic, and supersonic), the aircraft wings can be swept differently. The aircraft has a blended wing body design that works ...

This aircraft is equipped with a modernized KC ... Two high-bypass turbofans, mounted under 34-degree swept wings, power the KC-46A to takeoff at gross weights up to 415,000 pounds.

The swept-wing T-1A is a military version of the Beech ... Starting in 1993, undergraduate pilots who have graduated from their primary aircraft have proceeded to specialized training tailored ...

hence changing the aircraft’s flight characteristics. In short, wings swept back reduces drag and increases speed; wings swept forward increases drag, reduces speed, and increases stability and ...
