I was surprised when I saw it, as I'd always assumed that there was no sweep at all. As it turns out it's next to nothing but the spar is indeed straight, but the sweep at 25% chord is just a tad under 1° forward. When you look at the wing, the trailing edge tapers forward more than the leading edge tapers back. The aspect ratio for the outer wings is 6.4 and the wing taper ratio is 5.3. The main spar while straight does not travel equidistant along the chord line. Check out this link. http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a217/sarahjeanb/Peters/?action=view¤t=MAC1.jpg The spar is in green, the 25% chord line used to measure sweep in highlighted in yellow. The red line just to the front of the yellow line near the centreline of the aircraft denoted the station of the MAC from the firewall. Cheers. Pete.
