Wing sweep is measured as the angle between the perpendicular line to the fuselage and the line that connnects the chords 1/4th of their length from the leading edge.
Conculsion: the lear35 wings are swept, but at a very small angle, an angle less than that of the leading edge.
Wing taper ratio is the ratio of the length of the chord at the wing root vs. the length of the chord at the wing tip.
Conclusion:the lear35 wings are also tapered.
Moral of the story: Eagle and FalconCapt were both correct.
see "Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators" it is a facinating book.
