The test program was conducted from 1984 to 1992 and provided an ample supply of engineering information which can be used for the design and development of future aircraft.</p> <p> The X-29 featured forward swept wings planted well in the back of the fuselage, and canards to control pitch and acted as horizontal stabilizers. This new wing design proved exceptional maneuverability, a light structure, and supersonic performance. The test results of this design showed excellent control response at angles of attack up to 45 degrees. During its life, the X-29 aircraft were flown on 422 research missions. Including non-research flights, the X-29 aircraft flew 436 missions total.</p><div style='text-align: center;'>Summary Copyright © Charles M (JetWhiz)</div><br /> </div> <div class="reg1" style="background-color: #EFEFEF; text-align: right; padding: 5px;"> <a href="#top">^ Top ^</a> </div> <br /><br /> </div> <!--END BACKGROUND--> <!--BEGIN PHOTOS--> <div style="text-align: center; width: 570px;"> <a id='photos'></a> <div style="background-color: #000077; text-align: left; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 2px;"> <span class="reg4" style="color: #ffffff;">X-29 FSW Photos</span> </div> <div class="reg1p5" style="background-color: #EFEFEF; text-align: center; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 2px;"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" width="100%"><tr><td><img onclick="document.location='https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/x-29_1.jpg'" ondblclick="addtoFavs()" src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/x-29_1.jtb" style="cursor: pointer;border: 2px solid black;" alt="X-29 FSW" title="X-29 FSW" /></td><td><img onclick="document.location='https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/x-29_2.jpg'" ondblclick="addtoFavs()" src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/x-29_2.jtb" style="cursor: pointer;border: 2px solid black;" alt="X-29 FSW" title="X-29 FSW" /></td></tr><tr><td><img onclick="document.location='https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/x-29_3.jpg'" ondblclick="addtoFavs()" src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/x-29_3.jtb" style="cursor: pointer;border: 2px solid black;" alt="X-29 FSW" title="X-29 FSW" /></td></tr></table> </div> <div class="reg1" style="background-color: #EFEFEF; text-align: right; padding: 5px;"> <a href="#top">^ Top ^</a> </div> <br /><br /> </div> <!--END PHOTOS--> <br /><hr /><br /> <a href="#top"><img src="/photos/top_of_page.jpg" class="imageLink" alt="Top Of Page" width="150" height="25" /></a> <br /><br /><br /> @JSCRIPT@ @JSCRIPT@ <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit" class="reg1" onclick="javascript:Start('http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)); return false;"> <img src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/icons/stumbleupon.gif" alt="Stumble This!" class="imageLink" /> Stumble This!</a> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post" class="reg1" onclick="javascript:Start('http://del.icio.us/post?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)); return false;"> <img src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/icons/delicious.gif" alt="Bookmark on Delicious" class="imageLink" /> Bookmark on Delicious!</a> <br /><br /> </div> <!--END ID level2Center--> <!--END CENTER BAR--> <!--XX11XX GROUP CLOSE--> </td></tr></table> <!--FOOTER--> <div class="footer"> <br /> <div class="footerLeft"> Copyright © 2000-2022, The Global Aircraft Organization</div> <div class="footerRight" style="width: 49%; float: right;">[<a href="//legal.globalaircraft.org/docs/legal_notices.htm" class="legalFooter">Legal Notices</a>] [<a href="//legal.globalaircraft.org/docs/privacy_policy.htm" class="legalFooter">Privacy Policy</a>] </div> <br /><br /> </div> <!--END FOOTER--> </div> <!--END godTable--> @JSCRIPT@ </body>
