As fro Smith/Creek, despite writing a 900 page tome on the Me262, they just pulled the CG and swept wing out of thin air.

Right!!

Why the heck would anyone think they just did it out of thin air???

Of course they did not, the Germans had 7 years of swept wing theory research and development behind them. Not only that, Mtt was a leader in the German aviation industry with swept wing designs already in flight!!

It is silly to try and make the case they did not know or consider it when they added wing sweep to the Me-262!!

The 'reason' the outer wings were swept was to correct the cg.

Crumpp says: yes it was...see above and it fits with swept wing theory.

The 'reason' the inner wings were swept was to correct the airflow separation.
