Grumman X-29

The Grumman X-29 was an experimental aircraft that tested a forward-swept wing canard control surfaces and other novel aircraft technologies. The aerodynamic instability of this arrangement increased agility but required the use of computerized fly-by-wire control. Composite materials were used to control the aeroelastic divergent twisting experienced by forward-swept wings also reducing the weight.

The Grumman X-29 has always been a personal favorite of mine and has long been on my must-do list, and I finally got around to doing it.5
The wings on the Grumman X-29 experimental plane made use of a feature of composites that allow them to bend in one direction but not another.6
