Re: B-29 Wing Design
Semantics. It has a swept 1/4 chord line, which is where the aerodynamic forces are assumed to act. There is no good reason for that, unless you are moving the cg.
You need more then 25 degrees on the 1/4chord line to get any transonic benefits, so it is a straight wing in that sense. So was the Me 262. Excuse me if you knew that.
