The Grumman X-29 is an American Experimental aircraft, first flight in 1984 this plane was an demostrator of the inverted wings and their performance and improved avionics the,planw have good manovrability but it is a little unstable mostly dooring landing also it have complex elelecrtronics to help the plane beeing stable and loose controlls,but the concept was cancelled and the planes are stored in 2 museum in America.
[When you Takeoff First the back of the plane rises, then the front]

Fun fact: Even known the project was closed, The research from this aircraft has impacted the aerospace industry, it’s composition and avionics led to several NATO aircraft, including the F-16E/F and the Dassault Rafale. The Soviet Union/Russian Federation created their own version called the Su-47 Bekrut, which unfortunately was cancelled due to a lack of funding as a result of economic difficulties after Soviet Collapse. This was also the reason the Buran and other Soviet spaceplane programs were cancelled 😞
