Of COURSE I think this absolutely amazing! :^D Sorry I jumped the gun back there, but this really is a an impressive moc so I had to let people know. Although I think that it was said by (...)

It's a bit hard to change that now :) (...) More plates, eh? That would (...) (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.build.contests)

| | | | | (...) I prefer to see them forward swept, if only for the uniqueness factor. Forward swept wings may actually offer some advantages, depending on the regimes of flight that will be most used. Spaceplanes have to travel from thick soup to very thin (...)

| | | | | (...) Forward-swept wings have been tested since the 70's. They actually make a plane more maneuverable, but difficult to control (but now there's fly-by-wire), and there are structural problems. The Russians have a swept-wing fighter well along in (...)

In subsonic flight (below mach 1), sweeping a wing *aft* increases the aircraft's directional stability. (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
