Sweeping the wing had long been known as one of the answers to lower drag compressibility problems associated with high performance airplanes operating at or near Mach One. As early as 1942 North American Aviation engineers were working on several swept wing projects, including a forward swept wing P-51 design study. But problems associated with sweep the wing were a great as the end result. Sweeping the wing did lower the thickness ratio, which would result in higher speeds. But sweeping the wing also created wing tip stall and low speed stability problems. Problems that no one had been able to overcome.
