The first of these was the Messerschmitt Me P.1101 whose sweep angle could be changed on the ground.
Instead, a close copy was constructed which featured wings that could adjust sweep angle in flight.
The Messerschmitt P-1101's wings could be moved to different sweep angles, only while the plane was on the ground.
It is possible to measure the height of a tree indirectly without taking any horizontal sweep angles, which can be difficult to obtain accurately in the field.
The wings had a sweep angle of 55 at quarterchord.
The latter was aerodynamically thin and had a sweep angle of 45 .
Changes included "dogtoothed" leading edges on the wings, small strakes under the nose and a larger sweep angle of the canards.
The vertical stabilizer has a sweep angle of 60 and an area of 5.32 m2 (on earlier version 3.8 m2) and a rudder.
The stabilator has a sweep angle of 57 , an area of 3.94 m2 and a span of 2.6 m.
The wings have a high sweep angle of 37.5 degrees for a fast, efficient cruise of Mach 0.84 to 0.88, depending on the variant.
