Answer by Flying Penguin
Depends by your definition of upsweep, but I’m interpreting this as wing angles. If you’re looking at the aircraft straight at the nose or tail, it’s called dihedral or anhedral (dihedral = wings angled upwards, and vice versa). From overhead, the angle of the leading edge of the wings is called simply called sweepback.
