Compared to the sweptback wing, the advantage of the forward-swept wing of the same area are as follows: higher lift gradient and ratio; higher lift-to-drag and excess capacity ratios in dogfighting; increase in lift-to-drag ratio and range at subsonic speed; stall resistance (i.e. good anti-spin characteristics); better stability at high alpha; lesser allowable flight speed as well as shorter takeoff run and landing roll. 2, record 1, English, - forward%2Dswept%20wing%20aircraft

Prototype d'avion où l'aile est en flèche inverse, c'est-à-dire dirigée vers l'avant au lieu d'être rejetée vers l'arrière ce qui assure une manœuvrabilité accrue, la possibilité de voler à vitesse plus faible et une forte résistance à la mise en vrille. 1, record 1, French, - avion%20%C3%A0%20l%27aile%20%C3%A0%20l%27envers
