Shortly after The War, Boeing produced several designs for a swept-wing jet fighter under the Model 449 designation. Wing sweep included both aft and forward sweep, something that still has not made it onto a production fighter due to the severe torsion that such a wing is put under.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
At least with the forward-swept one you get room for a nose radar.
Looking at the size of the pilots in the drawings, those are none-too-big of jet engines, are they?
