Tip feathers, including forward swept tip feathers, and associated aircraft systems and methods are disclosed. A system in accordance with one embodiment includes an aircraft wing (120) having an inboard portion (122), an outboard portion (123), and a leading edge (124) having an aft wing sweep angle at the outboard portion (123). A first feather (131a) is fixed relative to, and projects outwardly from, the outboard portion (123) of the wing and has a leading edge (132a) with a first, forward sweep angle relative to a pitch axis (113) of the wing. A second feather (131b) is fixed relative to, and projects outwardly from, the outboard portion (123) of the wing at least partially aft of the first feather (131a), and has a leading edge (132b) with a second, aft sweep angle relative to the pitch axis (113). |
