Wing sweep on low speed aircraft (piper cherokee)
Thanks guys, really appreciate the pointers. Wil, I have read about the stresses induced in forward swept wings at higher speeds, but do you think at (relatively) slow speeds such as 230 km/h (max) these stress will be of any significance? Thanks, SparWeb, for the sweep link! Mike- MHAIRD

Wing sweep on low speed aircraft (piper cherokee)
Good afternoon everyone I am investigating the effects of wing sweep on low speed aircraft (max speed 230 km/h). I am focusing on the effect it has on the drag, lift and stability of these small aircraft. I am debating whether to focus on forward or aft swept wings, for this low speed...- MHAIRD
