Just about anything that works for aft-swept wings can be applied to forward swept wings, but the spanwise distribution of flow and turbulence is reversed. Thus, where the aft-swept wing induces pitch-up as the tips stall at high angles of attack, the tips of the forward-swept wing retain good airflow and the root tends to become turbulent. 4, record 1, English, - forward%20swept%20wing

Les avantages de l'aile en flèche inverse sont multiples. En effet cette aile permet à l'appareil d'être très agile et permet aussi des vitesses de décollage et d'atterrissage très faible, car la vitesse de décrochage de l'avion est très faible. Mais cette aile offre aussi une traînée plus faible qu'une aile classique, et ainsi permet à l'appareil d'avoir un réacteur moins puissant (donc consommant moins de carburant) et donc être plus petit, pour avoir les mêmes performances que celles d'un appareil doté d'une voilure classique. 8, record 1, French, - aile%20en%20fl%C3%A8che%20n%C3%A9gative
