Its not romantic. all things that can exist together at the same time #these bitches never heard of QPR... sad!#queer platonic relationship #icydk

Ollie, ye who have all the knowledge on the F-14, does it count as a fixed wing aircraft?

People are arguing about this, and I just want to know what’s right.

Thank you so much!

Oh wow. Yeah that can definitely be hecka confusing! I did do some research to make sure I have it correct because that’s kinda my thing, so hopefully this helps explain it.

In general, there are three main categories of flying machines: Fixed-Wing, Rotary, and Ornithopter. By definition, a fixed-wing aircraft is a heavier-than-air flying machine that generates lift using airflow over the wings fixed to the structure. The F-14’s wings are in fact fixed to the body structure, but are not fixed in one place. Essentially, they are just a subclass of Fixed-Wing aircraft being a Variable-Swept Wing aircraft.

And like, if it’s not a fixed-wing then what is it? I mean it’s certainly not a rotary-wing or an ornithopter. And I love the Turkey but she’s not THAT special where she gets her own category of heavier-than-air flying machines.

TLDR;

The F-14 Tomcat IS a Fixed-Wing aircraft, but is NOT a fixed wing aircraft.

The hyphen is doing literally all of the heavy lifting here.
