A variometer that produces this type of audible tone is known as an "audio variometer". Advanced electronic variometers in gliders can present other information to the pilot from GPS receivers. The display can thus show the bearing, distance and height required to reach an objective.
Some early aeroplanes had wings which could be varied in incidence for control and trim, in place of conventional elevator control surfaces. Wing warping varied the incidence of the outer wing and was used by several pioneers, including initially the Wright brothers. Early examples of rigid variable-incidence wings were not particularly successful.
MacCready speed to fly ring for a variometer. The outer ring show various airspeeds, while the variometer shows climb rate. The index arrow, white triangle, on the ring is placed against the expected rate of climb at the next thermal. The variometer needle will then point to the optimum airspeed, listed on the ring, to be flown to that thermal.
The F-14 was a more nimble fighter than the F-4 Phantom II and, unlike the F-111, its variable-sweep wings automatically adjusted over its speed range, and could be moved even during turns. Furthermore, the wings could be swept forward for tight "bat" turns in close quarters aerial combat, as well as rearwards for dash speeds. [56] [57]
