Development of the Swept Wing 1935-1945, AIAA Library of Flight, 2010, as I posted way above, ignored as usual by you as it doesn't fit your believe.
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 by 1942 they knew what they were doing. Plus then there were the 262 flight tests that showed the advantage of the swept wing, as on Stormbirds webpage.
So by 42-43 when the inner wing was swept, they knew the advantges of swept wings.
On top of that we have seen that only the inner wing was swept early in development to correct for CoG as we have seen in the link about wing design of the 262 which I posted several times above.
So I have always showed what my claims were based on.
You better start reading for once, and not only what you like.
Now could you comment on this lie of yours:
Quote:
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.

You have never supported this with any factual proof. You just sucked it out of your fingers.
Quote:
In that it was all done before by Robert Goddard

You still seem not to be able to come up with anything to support your claim that Goddard build a working ballistic missile.
Faithful believes, not supported by any sources.
Quote:
The 'reason' the wings were swept was to correct the cg due to the heaver than expected engines.

Only the outer wing.
Only the outer wing.
Look at the wing design progress linked at least twice already.
Look at the wing design progress linked at least twice already.
The wing was straight, then it was swept in the outer part to correct for CoG, then the engines got on the wing...and then 42-43, by the time additional research had been done and they had access to it and they had tested lower speeds and less wing sweep, then the inner wing was swept.
And please for once could you tell me how come you know why that link in the Stormbirds webpage is still under construction?
Facts for this please. Not more BS which you just imagine.
And no, by shouting louder and writing bigger and in red, your faithful creations and manipulations won't disappear and your unanswered questions will not be answered.
The louder is right works in the kindergarden but not here.
