The Swing Wing, the variable sweep wing is an outstanding feature of F-14, F-111, Tornado, Tu-22, Tu-160 and other combat planes designed in the late '60s or early '70s.
The F-111, for example, is famous for having attempted to cover all roles with a single airframe, thanks to the swing wing.
In this first episode of the series, we cover the origins of the concept.
Enjoy!
