The term "swing-wing" is an airplane wing, or set of wings, that may be swept back and then returned to its original straight position during flight. It allows the aircraft's shape to be modified in flight, and is therefore an example of a variable-geometry aircraft. The following list showcases those aircraft in aviation history that deployed the 'Swing Wing' - or Variable-Sweep Wing - capability for the high-speed flight envelope.
