Chapter 8, Problem 8.90P
NASA is developing a swing-wing airplane called the Bird of Prey [37]. As shown in Fig. P8.90, the wings pivot like a pocketknife blade: forward (a), straight (b), or backward (c). Discuss a possible advantage for each of these wing positions. If you can’t think of one, read the article [37] and report to the class.

For those who think electric cars are sissy, Keio University inJapan has tested a 22-ft-long prototype whose eight electricmotors generate a total of 590 horsepower. The “Kaz” cruisesat 180 mi/h (see Popular Science, August 2001, p. 15).
