North American XB-70 "Valkyrie" 1964
U.S.A.

It is the strategic bomber which challenged Mach 3 for the first time in the world. It became the good model of supersonic airliners, such as next Concorde and TU144. Is also that it says that these supersonic airliners were produced by irony in countries other than the United States also a historical mischief? At the time of a flight at supersonic speed, the main wings are bent under 65 degrees in this way. Of course, it is usually returned to a level position. This could also be called swing wing machine.

世界ではじめてマッハ3に挑戦した戦略爆撃機です。後のコンコルドやTU144などの超音速旅客機のいい手本となりました。皮肉にもこれら超音速旅客機がアメリカ以外の国で生産された言うのも歴史のいたずらでしょうか。超音速での飛行時はこのように主翼が65度下に曲げられます。もちろん通常時には水平位置に戻されます。これも可変翼機と言えるでしょう。
