Aerodynamic manoeuvres and Wing rakes

1.73K views

Ok I am most likely entirely off base here. But, with fly by wire technology perfected (see the purposely unstable euro fighter typhoon) why not use forward swept wings and also invert them so they are upside down to normal wings. Wouldn’t this give better lift/better speeds and more manoeuvrability with fly by wire tech?

We know that inverting wings gives better lift and that we have more manoeuvrability with forward swept wings, see the Russian SU47 for just that capability.

Add in the anti radar tech from the F22 and surely that’s a better fighter all around isn’t it? Or did I, most likely make a mess of understanding the tech?

Thank you
