He reduced speed to 250 knots, overriding the flight computers attempts to extend the aircraft's swing wings to their full wing-forward position.

It was first introduced in 1989 in the Dragonfly 800 Swing Wing, and has been used in all models since.

This type of technology, also known as "swing wing," first appeared in a production aircraft in the late 1960s with the General Dynamics F-111.

A variable-sweep wing, colloquially known as a "swing wing", is an aeroplane wing that may be swept back and then returned to its original position during flight.

The Boeing 2707 featured swing wings to give higher efficiency at low speeds, but the increased space required for such a feature produced capacity problems that proved ultimately insurmountable.

The swing wings are strictly for a supersonic dash at low altitude, using ducted fan and perhaps small auxiliary jets buried in the aft hull, drawing air from the fan plenum.

The F-111 offered a platform with the range, payload, and Mach-2 performance to intercept targets quickly, but with swing wings and turbofan engines, it could also loiter on station for long periods.
