Eglin Eagle
Introducing the Eglin Eagle! Fuselage based off of @EglinAFB 's X-Wing. This fine aircraft wing design was the result of a Wikipedea article I read about forward-swept wing design. What was found was that highly resistant metals are used in forward-swept wings due to their tendancy to curl at highspeed turns. Although it seemed highly unlikely that Simple Planes would replicate that kind of physics, I decided that it wouldn't hurt to at least test the theory. What I found was that at 520-580 mph (the breakage point for most of the Renevator Spem series) the aircraft design with normally swept wings could pull turns with less stress on the wings. Compared to a forward-swept design which would have snapped off. Therefore, I will, for the most part, be using a traditional swept wing design.
