As I recall from an old high speed aerodynamics book written back in 80-s, the typical angle of incidence for a jet is about 3*. Can’t be zero as the supercritical swept wing needs more of the AoA to generate enough lift. It’s also being said that the optimum AoA at which you wold have your L/D max is about 6-7*.
