I believe chord is measured from the leading edge of a wing to the trailing edge of a wing. I could be wrong, but I don't believe sweep has no effect on the chord. If the chord is 10" at the root and 10" at the tip, it is a constant chord wing, regardless of weather or not it is swept
Correct. However, what we are trying to define is how is the chord measured. If the 10" is measured 90deg to the LE, or parallel to the fuselage centre line. With a 45deg sweep If the measurement is 90deg to the LE then yes the chord is 10". If the measurement is parallel to the fuselage centre line the chord is 14.142.
This has a bearing on a rules discussion on another thread.
The second part of this question will be, how is the chord measured on a tapered wing?
