This chapter deals with oblique wing transport aircraft. It discusses the advantages of the oblique wing such as the wing to the fuselage, which is turnable to different angles to enable flight at different Mach numbers to be made with high aerodynamic efficiency. Varying the sweep angle by turning the wing as a whole has several advantages over the swing wing concept. Turning the oblique wing with a single pivot has considerable practical advantages. An oblique wing and body combination has better low‐speed performance due to the wing's reduced yaw angle. The aerodynamic theory suggests that the straight wing of high aspect ratio which is ideal for low speed flight already has the right shape for the oblique flying wing at supersonic speeds. The chapter also provides a comparison of the conventional configuration with the oblique wing and body configuration.
