===Variable-sweep wing=== Aircraft like the [[Grumman F-14 Tomcat]] and the [[Panavia Tornado]] employ [[variable-sweep wing]]s. As their wing area varies in flight so does the wing loading (although this is not the only benefit). When the wing is in the forward position takeoff and landing performance is greatly improved.<ref>Spick, 1986. pp. 84β87.</ref>
