Auto Credit Based on Viper28's Puzzle plane challenge
Ok this weeks question is "what was the first aircraft with a varable swept wing AKA swing wing?" There's sort of 2 answers to this one and I'll take either. If you don't understand go back to the first puzzle plane. In that one I explained the rules and directions.

17.4k karlosdarknessHave no plans to build a pterodactyl so you will have to put up with a 111 at some point.8.8 years ago

17.4k karlosdarknessIn production the F111, in prototype Westland aircraft the Pterodactyl sp? Some thirty years earlier. Trouble comes that the weight / drag of the sweep wing mechanisms is significantly heavy so any gain was marginal until you got near the speed of sound.8.8 years ago
