Variable-sweep wing

A variable-sweep wing is an aircraft wing that can be tilted to different angles during flight, allowing it to adapt for various speeds and conditions. When flying slowly, the wings are extended forward for better lift and maneuverability; at high speeds, they sweep back to reduce drag and improve stability. This flexibility enables aircraft like the Concorde to perform efficiently across a wide range of speeds, combining the benefits of both straight and swept wings in one design.
