VARIABLE GEOMETRY

A relatively new aircraft design feature is variable geometry wings. In the swept position, the aircraft can increase its speed. Unswept wings allow the aircraft stability at low speeds. The following illustration shows three variable geometry wing positions and high-mounted, mid- to low-mounted, and low-mounted wing positions.
