What is Advantage of swept back wing?
reduced drag
What is it called when a wing has one bend in the middle?
A wing with one bend in the middle is commonly referred to as a "swept wing." This design helps improve aerodynamic efficiency and performance at higher speeds by reducing drag and enhancing stability. It is often seen in military aircraft and some commercial jets to optimize flight characteristics.
Are swept back airplanes the same as a commercial airplane?
"Swept back' just refers to the wing shape. It can be a commercial, private or military aircraft.
What kind of wings does the Boeing 747 have?
It's considered a swept wing design.
What kind of wing shape does the F-22 Raptor have?
The F-22 Raptor possesses a trapezoidal wing configuration: a low aspect-ratio tapered wing wherein the leading edge is swept back, and the trailing edge swept forward to form somewhat of a diamond-shape.
What is the plural form of swept?
The word swept is the past participle, past tense of the verb to sweep (He swept the floor.), and an adjective, a word that describes a noun (The plane had a swept wing.). There is no plural form for a verb or an adjective. Nouns and pronouns have plural forms.
What is a delta wing?
Delta wing is the swept back wing design seen on jet airplanes like the Concorde. It is also a race car used in Le Mans in 2012.
What has the author Edwin J Saltzman written?

What is the disadvantage of swept back wing?
The surface area of the wing is slightly reduced, resulting in a reduced ability to generate lift. The effective aspect ratio is reduced, helping to increase wing tip vortices. Also, it is harder to recover from a stall with a swept wing aircraft, as the rear of the wing tends to stall first. This produces a greater nose up pitch on stalling, which is far harder to recover from than with a straight-winged aircraft.
How does swept back wing reduce induced drag?
A swept back wing reduces induced drag by allowing the wing to better distribute lift across its span. This helps to minimize the formation of turbulent wingtip vortices which contribute to induced drag. Additionally, the sweep angle reduces the effective angle of attack at the wingtips, which further reduces induced drag.
What were some characteristics of the new type of music that swept the country in the 1930s?

How does the width of a planes wing affect the way it flies?
Wings are designed for a specific purpose.Span is a measure from the wing root (where it attaches to the fuselage) to the wingtip. Chord is a measure of the distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the wing. The ratio of span to chord is called the aspect ratio of the wing. A high aspect ratio wing (long wingspan but short chord) works best at slow speeds, like gliders or slow single engine aircraft. Low aspect ratio wings (short wingspan but long chord) work well at high speed, like fighter jets. The aircraft designer chooses the span, chord, and camber (amount of curvature on top of the wing) for the intended flight characteristics of the airplane.The wings on many (but not all) high speed jets are angled toward the back. The term for this is wing sweep or swept wing. A swept wing reduces drag at hig speed, while a wing that is not swept, or with less sweep, creates better lift at low speeds. The F-14 Tomcat had a wing that could be moved forward for takeoff and landing, and then could move to the swept position for high-speed flight. This system is not widely used because of the added weight, complexity, cost, and reliability. Instead, most manufacturers use a compromise that works best for both slow and high speed flight.
