My Forward Swept Wing projects, specifying graphite composites and
multiple linked computers, became know as the X-29.



A newer derived system featured in Popular Science November 2000. The article
mentions the Grumman X-29 as the forerunner of this one - nicknamed the
Switchblade.
The
Wings Tucked In Mach 3 picture also reminds me of the D-21 drone that was tested
on or launched from the top of the SR-71; except without the smoother chine
edges.
