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.

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 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.

 X-29
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.

Grumman began building the first of two X-29As in 1982.

 Northrop-Raytheon team wins contract for next-generation ships
The Navy’s contract with Northrop Grumman Corp. and Raytheon Co. to develop the next-generation surface combat ship will push new technologies in command and control, communications, data sharing and surveillance and recognizance.
The Northrop-Raytheon team, known as the Gold Team, was picked April 29 for the four-year, $2.9 billion contract over the Blue Team, which was led by General Dynamics Corp. and Lockheed Martin Corp. Both General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin will now join the Gold Team as subcontractors.
The contract, known as DD(X) design agent, is for development of a new family of ships that can operate with smaller crews and will use technologies to avoid radar detection, share information and communicate more effectively.

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.
