<<I have a question about tapered wing plan forms. Assume a tapered
plan form is required for some reason & only straight leading &
trailing edges are practical. Is there an aerodynamic advantage to
having all the taper in the leading edge (I.E., the T.E. is
perpendicular to the motor stick) or can both the L.E. & T.E. be angled
equal amounts to produce the same total amount of taper without
compromising the aerodynamics?
