Why Modern Fighter Jets Abandoned Straight Wings Forever | WION Podcast

In this episode, we uncover why modern fighter jets no longer use straight wings, shifting instead to sleek swept and delta designs built for supersonic flight and stealth. Straight wings once offered stability and lift, but as aircraft began to break sound barriers, engineers realized they created intense drag and radar visibility. Swept and delta wings reduce shock waves, cut transonic resistance, and scatter radar signals. From the F-16 and Mirage III to the future Tempest and FCAS, each design marks a leap in speed, agility, and invisible precision in the skies.
