It has always made me wonder why there are not more forward swept wings in aircraft design. This would (presumably) increase the inward flow of air under the part of the aircraft rear of the COG and thus provide some "free" lift. Might also provide some pre-compressed for engine intakes.
With wings swept back, pressure eddies would be swept away from the rear of the aircraft and not provide any of the "free" lift.
Any informed thoughts?
