Now since you insist on being persistent (aka argumentative).
Again and again and again you ignore everything else.
I will repeat and repeat and repeat as long as you continue to do so.
Maybe after reading the same 1000 times you will actually understand it.
Like little kids which have to write 100 times the same sentence on a blackboard.
Other methods than that seem not to work with you.

And the high speed wind tunnel testing the Germans were working on was for planes flying faster than that.. Which is why they did not immediately make the connection that a swept wing is beneficial at sub sonic speeds.
Untrue, nothing but a myth created by you to support your single minded claims.

and the conference on high speed flight held in Rome where Busemann gave a lecture title "Aerodynamic Lift at SUPERSONIC Speed".
Which was held in 1935. The following is 39-42:
Quote:
Hubert Ludewieg of the High-Speed Aerodynamics Branch at the AVA Göttingen in 1939 conducted the first wind tunnel tests to investigate Busemann's theory.[2] Two wings, one with no sweep, and one with 45 degrees of sweep were tested at Mach numbers of 0.7 and 0.9 in the 11 x 13 cm wind tunnel. The results of these tests confirmed the drag reduction offered by swept wings at transonic speeds.[2] The results of the tests were communicated to Albert Betz who then passed them on to Willy Messerschmitt in December 1939. The tests were expanded in 1940 to include wings with 15, 30 and -45 degrees of sweep and Mach numbers as high as 1.21.
So research included subsonic speeds and wing sweep 13-45 degrees and by 42 they knew about the advantage of the swept wing.
Your statement is false.
Twisted, trimmed and bend to support your claims.

Quote:
But as we now know the wings were swept to correct the cg and not to take advantage of swept wing theory/technology
False again.
Only the outer wing was swept for correct of CoG as we have seen.

In that it was all done before by Robert Goddard
Feel free to post a link to Goddards 'ballistic missile' for once. As far as I know he never reached those 'extreme altitudes' he was aiming for, 2700m was the max in his experimental rockets.

Once again, maybe one day you will learn and understand:
The V2 was the worlds first ballistic missile.

Quote:
So even STORMBRIDS had/has trouble making the wiki link types of connections
Now you twist and bend things again. You turn a 'under construction' page into 'having trouble' and state this as it was a fact.
Once again only in your imagination.
If they never finished their webpage there can be thousands of reasons for it - your claim that it is because they are 'having trouble is completely ridiculous and not based on any freaking facts.

Quote:
I suspect it has something to do with STORMBIRDS having a reputation to consider, where as you don't!
The only reputation you have is to post false and singled minded claims.
Have a nice day.
