Why isn't variable wing geometry used in 5th generation fighters?
I'm curious about why variable wing geometry isn't used in 5th generation fighters. Can you shed some light on that?
Yes, of course. Variable wing geometry, or the ability to change the shape of the wings during flight, has been used in some older fighter planes such as the F-14 Tomcat, but it's not commonly used in 5th generation fighters like the F-22 or F-35. One main reason for this is that these newer planes were designed with more advanced technology that doesn't require variable wing geometry to achieve high performance.
