Default RE: Effect of tappering a wing with a small chord

well it would depend on the amount of taper you are using!!
and the air would slip over the wing quicker so the taper would have less of an effect than over a large chord wing because on a large chord the air is slipping over the wing for longer amount of time there for the air will start rolling down the wingi have no documentation on this but it does make sence i am lookin to get into aircraft engineering aswell.
