Aerodynamics - Swept Wing
3 important questions on Aerodynamics - Swept Wing
Advantages of Swept Wing
High Mach cruise speeds
Stability in turbulence
Disadvantages of Swept Wing
Poor lift qualities
Higher Stall speeds
Speed instability (lower lift at slow speeds) - Speed unstable below VIMD back end of jet drag curve
Wing tip stall
CP on swept wing
moves inward and forward (due to wingtip stalling first) which creates a pitch up
-washout or twist or bigger chamber delays this
