Abstract
Based on recent work by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) it is shown that forward swept wings have several advantages over conventionally aft swept wings.
By combining the forward swept wing with both a canard and a horizontal tail configurations emerge with interesting possibilities.
