Why isn't variable wing geometry used in 5th generation fighters?
That's interesting. What other advanced technologies have replaced the need for variable wing geometry in 5th generation fighters?
Some examples include thrust vectoring, which allows the pilot to control the direction of the engine thrust, and advanced fly-by-wire systems that automatically adjust the aircraft's control surfaces to achieve optimal performance. These technologies can provide some of the benefits of variable wing geometry without the added weight and complexity.
