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
