		The Grumman X-29 explored a number of new technologies, the most immediately obvious being the forward swept wings and canard control service.
		The inherent aerodynamic instability of this arrangement required the use of computerised fly-by-wire control, and advanced composite materials were needed to make the wing sufficiently rigid without being unacceptably heavy.
		The test program of the two planes continued for over a decade, and on December 13, 1985 one of them became the first FSW aircraft to fly supersonically in level flight.

	Partners in Freedom
		Grumman’s FSW configuration was tested in the same tunnel during three entries beginning in November 1980.
		Grumman requested support from Langley in assessing the static and dynamic pressure conditions that might be experienced by the engine inlets during the high-angle-of-attack flight tests of the X-29.
		After the DARPA X-29 contract was awarded to Grumman, additional tests were conducted in the TDT in 1983 which demonstrated the potential coupling of the wing structural modes with the rigid body pitch mode to create an instability called body-freedom flutter.

		The aircraft was also intended to validate studies that said it should provide better control and lift qualities in extreme maneuvers, and possibly reduce aerodynamic drag as well as fly more efficiently at cruise speeds.
		From several proposals, Grumman Aircraft Corporation was chosen in December 1981 to receive an $87 million contract to build two X-29 aircraft.
		During Phase 2 flights, NASA, Air Force, and Grumman project pilots reported the X-29 aircraft had excellent control response to 45 degrees angle of attack and still had limited controllability at 67 degrees angle of attack.

		On 29 December 1970 Grumman and Boeing received contract NAS9-11160 to study two-stage-to-orbit shuttle configurations using both internal and external liquid hydrogen tanks.
		The team quickly established that using 2 x 250,000 kgf engines on the 405 tonne orbiter resulted in unacceptable abort constraint.
		It was equipped with 12 SSME and 12 x GE F101 or P&W JTF22A-4 turbofan engines, which gave it a 715 km ferry range.

		The Grumman X-29 explored a number of new technologies, the most immediately obvious being the forward swept wings and canard control surface.
		The Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, later Grumman Aerospace Corporation, was a leading producer of military and civilian aircraft of the 20th century.
		In aeronautics, canard (French for duck) is a type of fixed-wing aircraft in which the tailplane is ahead of the main lifting surfaces, rather than behind them as in conventional aircraft.

		The purpose of the modifications was to inject air into the vortices that flow off the nose of the aircraft at high angles of attack.
		Wind tunnel tests at the Air Force's Wright Laboratory and at the Grumman Corporation showed that injection of air into the vortices would change the direction of vortex flow and create corresponding forces on the nose of the aircraft to change or control the nose heading.
		The flight research program was conducted by the Dryden Flight Research Center, and included the Air Force Flight Test Center and the Grumman Corporation as participating organizations.

	Composites and Advanced Materials
		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.
		And high-speed forward-swept-wing airplanes like Grumman's experimental X-29 or the Russian Sukhoi S-27 Berkut would not have been possible without the development of composite materials to keep their wings from bending out of shape.
		The designers of the Grumman X-29 experimental plane used this attribute of composite materials to design forward-swept wings that did not bend up at the tips like metal wings of the same shape would have bent in flight.

		The MiG-29's configuration does has some resemblance to American contemporaries such as the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, the F-15, and the YF-17 (the experimental Northrop ancestor of the F/A-18).
		However, it appears that most of the MiG-29SMTs built so far still have some variant of the RD-33, due to delays in engine production, but the two types of engines are mechanically compatible and engine upgrades should be straightforward.
		Initial flight of the first MiG-29SMT prototype was on 29 November 1997, with Marat Alykov at the controls.
