you take some ppl and their inventions and make them the creators of the applications derived of those

No....I said Dunne invented the swept wing and just mentioned HP had the patent on the slats Messershmitt used, it seems you are the one making stuff up.

it is all about is brining new inventions together to really create something never seen before.

Neither swept wing or slats were that 'new', it's just nobody else was in such a hurry to design new things to rampage across the globe murdering people.

So, where is the jet fighter Dunne's created to actually make use of swept wings?

Dunnes work was research into stability not high speed flight.

Exactly what it said. You complain about the content of this thread and it not beeing interesting enough? Do not read it then. Or contribute a bit more constructivly. At least Ace, Tools and me put more into this thread then just ranting and offending.

Oh I am terribly sorry Mr Bewolf Sir......I didn't read the sign on the door that this was a closed club, yes constructive contributions like 'history is written by the winners blah blah', I shall strike my mention of the inventor of the swept wing J.W. Dunne as complete spam and historically innacurate and as for automatic slats.....well everybody knows anything automatic could never be a British design.

What stuff do I make up?

True, the british had no need for that in India, Iraq and Africa when they came down on uprisings and rebellions against their empire. Or their bomber campaigns against civilians.
You want to continue this line of argument?

So what is your point? Tools and Ace are talking swept wings in the high speed department.

That is what WIki says about slats (funnily enough, I just wanted to check what british company invented the patent later bought by Messerschmitt to support your point)

Slats were first developed by Gustav Lachmann in 1918. A crash in August 1917, with a Rumpler C aeroplane on account of stalling caused the idea to be put in a concrete form, and a small wooden model was built in 1917 in Cologne. In 1918, Lachmann presented a patent for leading edge slats in Germany. However, the German patent office at first rejected it as the office did not believe in the possibility of increasing lift by dividing the wing.[4][5]

Independently of Lachmann, Handley-Page Ltd in Great Britain also developed the slotted wing as a way to postpone stall by reducing the turbulence over the wing at high angles of attack, and applied for a patent in 1919; to avoid a patent challenge, they reached an ownership agreement with Lachmann. That year a De Havilland D.H.9 was fitted with slats and flown.[6] Later a D.H.4 was modified as a monoplane with a large wing fitted with full span leading edge and back ailerons (ie what would later be called flaps) that could be deployed in conjunction with the leading edge slats to test improved low speed performance.[7] Several years later, having subsequently taken employment at the Handley-Page aircraft company, Lachmann was responsible for a number of aircraft designs, including the Handley Page Hampden.

This.

Yeah those awfull Brits, if only they had followed the example of the other colonising Nations in the days of colonialism which was from a completely different age with different moralities, still the Jerries came along and showed us how it 'should' be done in a typically efficient way.

So what is your point? Tools and Ace are talking swept wings in the high speed department.

I'm not making a point, you were the one that asked why dunne didn't make a high speed swept wing.

That is what WIki says about slats (funnily enough, I just wanted to check what british company invented the patent later bought by Messerschmitt to support your point)

I hope you paid attention tho the fact I never said slats were a British invention, I merely mentioned Messershmitts slats were a HP patent.
