Washout built into the wings of the Ta-152H

b) washout remains at a constant -3 degrees across the outer wing supporting the aileron hinges.

The inner wing washout means it goes from 0 to -3 degrees across the span between root to flap/aileron junction, so not -3 degrees all the way along the inner wing.

So yes, this does make sense! (It took a couple of days for me to understand what you were saying.) The downward twist of the wing arrives at -3 degrees at flap-aileron junction, and then the twist was maintained at a constant -3 degrees throughout the aileron section to the tips.

Interesting.

I wonder what the gradient of the twist was?

Thanks!!
