In the supersonic the swept wing also swepts the shock in front of the leading edge of the wing... In the supersonic the swept wing also swepts the shock in front of the leading edge of the wing... so a swept wing always has more drag at lower speeds... this is not possible on the swept wing because the spars will meet at an angle... technology demonstration project designed to test the forward swept wing for enhanced maneuverability in 1984... discovering a number of swept wing models and a mass of technical data from the wind tunnels... swept wing of a Maule M... swept wing of a Maule M... swept wing of a Maule M...

Only the velocity component perpendicular to the shock is affected and suffers an entropy increase. | | The F-106 Delta Dart is optimized for supersonic flight and has a highly swept leading edge while the trailing edge has only a weak forward sweep. At a stream wise position in between there is no sweep at all. | | F-106 Delta Dart | F-14 Tomcat, an example of a variable geometry aircraft, shown in high-speed high-sweepback configuration.
