In that the top view picture I showed you before appears to have confused you a little
So allow me to post a side view of the BMW P.3302 vs Jumo 004 (see attached)
Looking at the attached picture you can see I lined up the wings..
From the picture you can see the Jumo and BMW both start at the same point ahead of the cg.
From the picture you can see the Jumo extends out behind the cg much further than the BMW.
That is that 'red' area I showed in my last drawing
This additional mass that extends out behind the cg will have to be compensated for to maintain the cg.
And just to be crystal clear here.. I am not saying this is the reason the inner wing was swept forward! All I am saying is if this is the reason, it agrees with what STORMBIRDS said or didn't say, as in it could explain why STORMBIRDS did NOT come out on record and say the reason the inner wing was swept forward was to take advantage of swept wing theory
Hope that helps!
