Default Re: Why do jets have swept wings?

Wow... don't me out to be such a bad guy... If you have a 50 foot long wing, and turn it back 45 degree angle, you have a 50 foot wing and X number of frontal area. You have increaced the cord, and hidden some frontal drag. Now... that does not mean I believe that to be the case here.... but please don't be so harsh. Well put OverTemp.
