Можда је било на теми о Ф-16, али како је не пратим...
Citat:In 1976, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) awarded funds to General Dynamics, Rockwell and Grumman under the Forward-Swept Wing Program. Forward-swept wings offer low drag and improved low-speed handling characteristics, but they are extremely difficult to manufacture using conventional techniques. The use of advanced composite materials makes the wing rigid enough to withstand the forces introduced by aerodynamic stress, while simultaneously avoiding a weight penalty.
The SFW/F-16 never left the drawing board.
The engineers at General Dynamics studied several designs, including one with canards and an aft-mounted wing. The final design submitted to DARPA used the landing gear and most fuselage components of the traditional F-16, yet it had a slightly lengthened and strengthened fuselage to allow the forward-swept wing to be attached, since the new wing was slightly larger than the traditional wing.
The SFW/F-16 was rejected by DARPA in January of 1981 in favor of the Grumman 712 (an F-5/F-20 derivative), later designated the X-29A...

Citat:Lockheed Swing Wing Design
CL-507 was a Lockheed preliminary design effort in 1960 that involved a series of STOVL and VTOL fighter bombers with maximum speeds in the Mach 2 range. This variation (507-27) had variable-sweep wings.

Citat:'Kestrel'
In 1974, the US Navy issued a request for proposals for a lightweight multi-role aircraft that could serve as both a fighter and as an attack aircraft. The aim was to replace both the F-4 Phantom II an the A-7 Corsair II with an aircraft that had a lower cost than either the F-14 or the F-111.
Convair reacted by a proposal of the F/A-201 Kestrel. It was based on an earlier proposal for an ‘Advanced F-106’ and was designed with a single Pratt & Whitney JTF22A-30A/F100-PW-220 engine.
The Kestrel was to have a delta/canard wing configuration. There were to be both land-based and carrier-based aircraft. Convair also proposed to produce a V/STOL version with two lift fans and a vectoring nozzle on the main engine. The aircraft was designed with a fly-by-wire control system.
In 1975 the U.S. Navy decided to select a derivative of the YF-17, the loser of the U.S: Air Force Lightweight Fighter (LWF) Aircraft competition which resulted in the F-16. The YF-17 was converted into the F/A-18 Hornet and the Kestrel proposal never went beyond the model stage. [Link mogu videti samo ulogovani korisnici]

Citat:The final and most spectacular redesign was a Mach 2 variable geometry ("swing wing") machine, the Folland "Fo.148", that was intended as a trainer, air superiority fighter, or light strike aircraft. The wings were to have full-span leading-edge flaps and slotted trailing edge flaps; there would be a single stores pylon on each side of the fuselage. It was to have been fitted with an afterburning RB.153 engine with a thrust reverser. The Fo.148 was said to have been the last aircraft design to bear a Folland designation before the company was absorbed into the Hawker-Siddely group. It was an interesting design and it is a bit of shame it never flew.
