Since I have been thinking about flying wings again..

How do you build a wing with twist, taper, and sweep?

Taper and sweep by themselves, or together, seem quite easy since they would be linear, at least with what I have in mind.

But when you add a nonlinear sweep to the mix, just how is this done? Does anyone have any examples of the construction methods they could point me to? Even an RC model construction would be educational.

Add to the mix, an airfoil that changes from root to tip, but that should be relatively trivial compared to the other items.
