Random information on the term “Drooping”:
The droop nose, drooped nose, or droop snoot is a feature fitted to a small number of aircraft types so the nose of the aircraft can be lowered during takeoff and landing to improve the pilot’s view of the ground below. This feature is used with a very-low aspect ratio wing such as a delta wing. It is installed in aircraft capable of supersonic speeds but is lowered only during low-speed operation such as takeoff and landing.
Droop noses have typically been installed on supersonic airliners such as Concorde and the Tupolev Tu-144; and high-speed experimental aircraft, such as the record-breaking Fairey Delta 2 and the Sukhoi T-4 strategic bomber.
The first supersonic delta to receive a drooped nose was the Fairey Delta 2, a British experimental high-speed aircraft. The Delta 2 featured a relatively long tapered nose, which smoothly flowed into its cylindrical cross-section fuselage, to generate a high level of aerodynamic efficiency. It was recognised that such a lengthy nose would negatively impact the pilot’s forward vision during landing, take-off and ground movements; thus, to retain the aerodynamically optimised nose cone while also providing adequate downwards visibility, the drooped nose was devised. Accordingly, the nose section of the Delta 2, including the cockpit, could be drooped by 10° using a hydraulically actuated mechanism. A similar arrangement was subsequently adopted on Concorde’s “Droop Snoot”.
