Since someone's already mentioned the Harrier, let's use that: The Harrier's wings are built with a heavy downward angle-or "anhedral." This makes the aircraft extremely maneuverable, which implies a huge loss of stability due to the outward cant of the lift vectors. This is the greatest contributor to stability on the roll axis of an airplane because the inward tilt of each wing's lift vector tends to roll the plane back to a wings-level attitude. If we look at the design of most real-world private and commercial airplanes, the wings are constructed with a slight upward angle-referred to as "dihedral"-when viewed from the front. In sciency terms, maneuverability is the inverse of stability if a plane is more stable, it's less maneuverable, and vice versa.
Case in point, get ready to fall asleep:Īerodynamically speaking, the change in configuration would have a negligible effect on maneuverability or, if anything, could make the X-wing LESS maneuverable when flying in an atmosphere. no good can really come of applying real-world science to Star Wars. I'm seeing some suggestions about increased maneuverability.
