1/72 X-29
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 X-29 first flew in 1984; two X-29s were flight-tested over the next decade.
