Anyone recall the F-111 fitted with NASA's
Mission Adaptive Wing during the mid-80s?
There's nothing new under the sun!
Composite construction, Mission Adaptive Wing, Relaxed Static Stability, prone piloting position ; those Wright Bros really were 21st Century pioneers
(After viewing the link, it's not wing warping per se that Airbus have patented, but rather the method of achieving same using articulating winglets. Snazzy.)
