Hi,
Given:
  1. Swept wing. Sweep (in degrees) along 25% chord
  2. Root chord
  3. Tip chord
  4. Length along 25% chord
To find:
The sweep back distance at the LE of the tip (relative to the root chord LE)

I have tried all the high school maths I can remember, and nothing seems to present itself. I have been resorting to plugging the above numbers into DevWing software, which does the calculations for me. But it is a hassle, and I'd like a more interactive solution which can be implemented in my Excel spreadsheet.

Thanks,
Duncan
