Research has been conducted, the principal objective of which was to study the stability and control characteristics of a combat aircraft with a forward swept wing (FSW). Prior to the commencement of the main study, it was necessary to design a notional aircraft in sufficient detail to provide a viable basis for the stability studies. In particular, it was essential to provide adequate geometric and aerodynamic detail for the aircraft design. The initial design work led to the definition of a single engine FSW fighter configuration. Subsequently, the design was revised to incorporate significantly more aerodynamic detail, leading to the aircraft design used in the stability studies. FSW aircraft design optimization studies are summarized.
