13 Ιουλ 2019 · The X-29, an experimental plane flown by NASA in the 1980s, sports one of the most unusual designs in the history of aviation.
9 Φεβ 2014 · Research results showed that the configuration of forward-swept wings, coupled with movable canards, gave pilots excellent control response at up to 45 degrees angle of attack, higher than comparable fighter aircraft. During its flight history, X-29s were flown on 422 research missions.
26 Οκτ 2018 · The Grumman X-29 was a supersonic aircraft with a unique design featuring forward-swept wings and canards. It was a testbed for advanced wing concepts and fly-by-wire technology, and flew from 1984 to 1991.
6 Φεβ 2002 · During 120 research flights in this phase, NASA, Air Force, and Grumman project pilots reported the X-29 aircraft had excellent control response to an angle of attack of 45 degrees and still had limited controllability at a 67-degree angle of attack.
