Another change adds 4˚ of sweep to the outboard span of the wing leading-edge. The demonstrator revealed a centre of gravity slightly aft of the design intent, Tutt says. Increasing the sweep angle should correct the centre of gravity position while not affecting speed or manoeuvrability performance, he adds.
Hmm, Tutt says increasing the sweep angle should correct the slightly too far aft C of G, Huh? Surely, moving the outer wings back 4 Deg would add aft C of G. Unless other changes like a radar installation counteract that adjustment in fwd C of G.
I don't think that photo shows the new wing design.
Interesting announcement anyhow. Looks like a cheaper platform for training and perhaps CAS.
