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.

@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

Just saying but the wings are to wide but other then that it’s amazing good job

This flies really good, 👍, did you have to tamper anything? I been doing good trying to keep my hands off the tampers lol

@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.
