  • thats not a flex wing.. thats no better then and F-14, changeable position wing..

    wing stays exactly the same, its position changes..

    therefore you have a multi position wing, not a "morphing" wing...

    sorry to burst your bubble but you have a copy of whats already been done 30 years ago...

  • The reason they make a variable geometry plane is that they are planning it to do some supersonic flight, like the F-14 ;)

  • vargeow not new...

  • @phresh3dx thats old lol

  • But the question is will it blend?

  • @MrAwsome514 I agree that those plates have no effective aerodynamic shape - however I do propose the variable amount of surface area would greatly affect flight efficiency in this particular case. Not unlike a sugar glider.

  • I like the music...

  • @mryellow123 Yes, however, this design is more fan like. The flat plates between the wings and the body of the craft serve no purpose. The plates are not aerodynamically designed to generate lift.

  • @MrAwsome514 Storage is not the sole reason for swept wing designs.

    Take the F111 for example, super-sonic yet, long-range with wings extended, large payload.

    Somehow I think there is enough room on Australia for storage.

    This model though it's kinda pointless not being super-sonic there is little reason to have the wings change.

  • It's a nice video demonstrating concept to reality but the design itself... well...
