An investigation has been made to determine the effects of the location of the wing pivot and geometry of the forewing on the static longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics at subsonic speeds of a model representing a variable-sweep supersonic fighter airplane. Results indicate that as the wing-pivot location moves aft and outboard, the change in static margin due to wing sweep is reduced. Increasing the forewing area resulted in a forward shift of the aerodynamic center as well as a slight reduction in the aerodynamic-center variation due to wing sweep. (Author)
