Re: Washout built into the wings of the Ta-152H
The FW 190D-9 and FW 190A had a Positive angle of 2 degrees at the root with constant wash out to the 80% semi span point at which point the angle was Zero, thence no further twist to the tip. I don't have access to the Ta 152 data.
reference - P. Gross "Die Entwicklung der Tragwerkkonstruction Fw 190", Bericht 176, der lillenthal Gesellschaft, 2 Teil, January 1944.
This is a unique design for wings without leading edge slats, in that the twist did not continue out to the tip chord. This combined with post war analysis suggesting that the Fw 190 wing was less stiff re: torque which could result in an abrupt stall in high G/high AoA maneuvering.
