When the wings on a blackjack or lancer swing can the pilot feel it swing, like is their an altitude drop or something? Huh

I would imagine they feel something, because I can feel the nose lights extend on the C-17 when we fly, and they are only like 8" across.

It probably feels more like flaps extending.  A slight lift and deceleration, or at least that's what I would imagine.

I would assume the same; that the pilot feels an increase/decrease in acceleration and lift depending on if they are sweeping the wings back or forth.

And with the Tornado, if he does not do it within the speed envelope, the aircraft will vibrate so much it will shake his eye balls out Shocked

Shocked

Don't think that'd feel too good.

Does the Tornado have an auto-sweep like the F-14, and I would believe the B-1B as well?

Or do the pilots have to do it manually?

That's a bummer!

Adds another thing you have to keep in mind on an already work-load intensive aircraft.

Tu-160 has manual extension, just like the Tu-22M...

B-1 is computerized so you probably won't feel much
