A cant-wing aircraft is an aircraft concept with variable-angle wings that rotate depending on flight speed. At low speeds, the wings will remain parallel to the fuselage for optimal lift and stability; while at high speeds, the wings will rotate diagonally to reduce drag and improve flight efficiency.
The main purpose of this design concept is to reduce problems caused by increased drag during supersonic flight, so that fuel consumption can be reduced while maintaining efficient flight performance. The concept was first proposed by American aerospace engineer Robert T. Jones, and early experiments were conducted with the help of NASA.
Although the design of oblique-wing aircraft is technically very innovative, it suffers from structural complexity and practical operational challenges.

@Salah001XTripleVage Oh my damn goodness gracious can you just stop commanding people what to do. Bro is not your disposable slave that you can control. At least he works hard to make these fictional aircraft. It’s pretty hard to build these “proposed aircraft” due to the often lack of info, and he still manages to get these done. Compared to you, slapping text logos and painting parts of aircraft. Not everyone wants to build your same repetitive airliner shit for their entire SP career. Please accept that different types of builds exist.
Very interesting plane. [Intrigued expression]
@Salah001XTripleVage you can't do anything bro
@Salah001XTripleVage can you stop complaining for once. i've seen you complain so many damn times under so many damn posts that i can't handle it anymore, go ahead and build your own aircraft.
@qazedcujmyhn I really admire your work, congratulations on your talent, keep bringing new projects that have never been built, friend!! :)
After that mustard video I have wanted this so bad. THANK YOU
Great and original build , great screens , just great .
No More Making Proposed Planes
Oh, and i was wondering if you might like to create a more realistic version of the fictional 2000+ passenger, 12 engined Airbus A500 on reddit later on. You can go check it out in the original post in the URL below.

I think I saw some concept plane photos that at least look very much like this one, and they could very well be this jet here, and I must say that this airliner design is definitely one of the most unique and creative ones out there. ;)
