The NASA Oblique Wing Research Aircraft, the predecessor to the AD-1. The first known oblique wing design was the Blohm & Voss P.202, proposed by Richard Vogt in 1942. [1] The oblique wing concept was later promoted by Robert T. Jones, an aeronautical engineer at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California.
