Why Aren't Swing Wing Aircraft Made Any More?

From the mid-60s up to 1981, swing-wing aircraft led the way for new multirole aircraft that combined the low-speed stability and efficiency of a straight wing with the high-speed performance of a swept wing and led to some of the most famous fighters and bombers of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. But from 1981 onwards not a single new aircraft was built with a swing-wing design. In this video, we look at why this happened.

    It's not our use of energy besides that there was plenty of smart men that created ways for humanity to have plumbing and electricity and all these other things without the cost that we pay today it was also more environment friendly but they wanted to get rich and control society. Just think if they can create a storm that can bite out of a neighborhood or a city to stay automatically takes over that land and they can build and do what they want with it at that point food for thought
