historical background:
The X-02 Wyvern, also known as the X-02A, is a fifth-generation fighter aircraft developed by the Erusean Air and Space Administration. Its striking design is most notable for its variable geometry wings, which fold in at high speeds.

plen

The X-02 Wyvern incorporates an uncommon design with variable geometry technology and a forward-swept wing configuration. As the aircraft gains speed, the forward-swept wings and vertical stabilizers fold inward and downward respectively to reduce air drag, and retract to their neutral position once it slows down. This unconventional design grants it an extreme degree of mobility and the folded wings add a degree of stealth. However, this comes at a cost to the aircraft's armor (which is scaled back to provide such mobility) as well as its fuel capacity. The aircraft is carrier-capable, though is equally capable of taking off from standard airfields.
