delcyros said:From the point of the construction, the F-86 was a genuine US design with a modified german wing design (close to the Me-262 wing with higher degree os sweep, comparable to Me-P1101 and Me-262 HG-II), while the Mig-9 was a genuine soviet design (with no influence of the Ta-183) and the Mig-15 and La-15 were inspired by the Fw-Ta-183 (maybe, but not more than preliminary studies). Some may say that the wing design of F-86 and Mig-15 reminds on Messerschmidt vs. Focke Wulf, but I believe this is wrong. They both have significant differences in wing geometry, aspect ratio and degree of anhedral/dihedral as well as space in the wing (in case of the Mig-15 used for the retreacting main wheel while that of the Ta-183 retreacts into the fuselage).
delcyros said:Yes, but the thrust to weight factor is important for fighter planes.
Plan_D said:And the P-86s wing was actually based off the P-51 Mustang's wing and then altered to swept when studying the swept wing designs from Germany.
