NASA AD-1 - Wikipedia
The NASA AD-1 is both an aircraft and an associated flight test program conducted between 1979 and 1982 at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards California, which successfully demonstrated an aircraft wing that could be pivoted obliquely …
AD-1 Oblique Wing - NASA
2009年8月12日 · The Ames-Dryden AD-1 was designed to investigate the concept of an oblique (or pivoting) wing. The AD-1 wing could be rotated on its center pivot so that it could be set at its most efficient angle for the speed at which the airplane was flying, hence the name ‘oblique.’
Flying at an Oblique Angle: The NASA AD-1 - HistoryNet
2017年3月9日 · NASA’s AD-1 proved that oblique-wing aircraft are practical, despite their odd appearance. In a century of powered flight, airplanes have varied in size and shape from Sopwiths to 787s, from Cessnas to C-5s, from F-35s to Super Guppys. But almost all had one thing in common: bilateral symmetry.
