Auto Credit Based on WMF's White rhino (paint fixed minus prop)
A true swing-wing concpet in the vein of the NASA AD-1 Oblique wing demonstrator. In this model, i've added a large high-aspect ratio wing for tremendous lift at slow speeds. Pull the VTOL slider back at speeds above 500mph and it pivots out of the way, reducing drag and allowing the small delta wings to carry you to speeds in excess of 1,100 mph. I've color coded the model so you can always be sure the main wing is facing the right direction (just match up the wingtip colors!)
