1. sweptback

   Sweptback refers to a design feature where the wings or other parts (like fins or antenna) of an aircraft or vehicle are angled back from its central axis. This design is commonly used in high-speed vehicles to reduce air or fluid resistance and improve aerodynamic performance. It may also refer to something (like hair or a hat) that is angled, pushed or styled backwards.
