The Grumman X-29 was an American experimental aircraft that tested a forward-swept wing, canard control surfaces, and other novel aircraft technologies. The X-29 was developed by Grumman, and the two built were flown by NASA and the United States Air Force. The aerodynamic instability of the X-29's airframe required the use of computerized fly-by-wire control. Composite materials were used to control the aeroelastic divergent twisting experienced by forward-swept wings, and to reduce weight. The aircraft first flew in 1984, and two X-29s were flight tested through 1991.

    @SmurfResearchX I made a modern style one, the x-29 is grampa to swept wing research. I personally found mine so stupid stable at any speed.

    @LoboindustriesAerospace - anytime, my friend - i always thought this was one of nasa's coolest jet projects, it still looks futuristic today - nice job!

    @XionmassResearchDevt, It wasn't easy, you have to use the weight-lift-thrust adjustment a lot, so that it can be stable and fly, but it's not quite a perfect flight, it has a bug that I haven't been able to repair, when the plane takes off it starts to brutally increase the speed from 200m/s to 1500m/s that's not normal, but maybe I'll be able to figure out the cause
