Thanks the Germans we have a good understanding of swept wing theory and we have a very detailed mathmatical model with the ability to predict behaviors. We, meaning the world scientific community has improved upon it, but it was Germans who provided the basic foundation. framework, and direction. Keep in mind, the United States had one scientist who was working on swept wing theory. His ideas were not accepted by the mainstream. The United Kingdom had no one at all and their top designers thought swept wing theory was "bloody useless". Unfortunately, their swept wing pioneers were limited to toy gliders with rare exceptions pre-dating WWI. Quote:
Is it surprising to anyone that the Allies had little understanding or ability to explain the German design decisions on the Me-262? |

It is not my opinion Tagert. It is how it works.
Pick up a aeronautical sciences book on swept wing theory and read it. |

I have and during that process I have learned that it is best to go with the experts in the filed over self proclaimed experts in a flight sim forum.. Again nothing personal! I just think most here would agree that it would be silly to take your word on it over theirs.

Well that is your opinion on your opinion and your welcome to it!
But I am going to stick with the Me262 experts (Jenkins and STORMBIRDS) on this one.. Who said..
It is nothing personal! It is just when you consider the fact that Dennis Jenkins has written more aviation books than most people have read, and that the folks at STORMBIRDS surly reviewed all the data on the Me262 during the process of building reproductions of the Me262. It would be silly to pick you over them! But I still want to thank you for sharing your personal beliefs and opinions! But to be honest, I really don't care about what you personally belive and your opinions! All I care about is what can be proven. I mean if we don't draw the line there was is to stop someone from posting in this thread that they 'belive' and are of the 'opinion' that the Germans were assisted by aliens from outer space? So with that said I think you can understand why I drawn the line there.. I also want to thank you for information and calculations you provided! But I am sure the likes of Dennis Jenkins and STORMBIRDS are privy to that same information/calculations and MORE and took it all into account during their research of the Me262 and their ultimate statements on the reason why the wings were swept. Which begs the question as to why they didn't come to the same conclusions you did? I suspect they wanted to.. In that the whole history channel 'the Germans were supermen' stuff sells these days.. Especially the folks at STORMBIRDS who are pro German tech biased.. But I suspect the stopped short of making the claims you made because they just could not find any real proof of the connections your claiming are there. That and unlike you they have a reputation to consider! I mean think about it, nothing would hurt their image, and thus sales, more than for them to say something they said was based on proof only to find out later there was no proof! So with that said.. We will just have to agree to disagree as to the reasons why the wings were swept on the Me262 S!

Here you go Tagert,
A good simple primer on the basis of swept wing theory. http://www.desktop.aero/appliedaero/...eeptheory.html |

But I am still incline to go with the experts statements over yours and even my own for that mater! But thanks for the link! S!
