Pivot point concepts for fighter type aircraft with variable sweep wings are reviewed. Structural and aerodynamic considerations involved in sweep pivot location, a summary of endurance testing of Teflon lined journal bearings, and variation of fatigue life of the aircraft versus wing sweep position are discussed.
