This is the real NASA X-29. Its forward-swept wings kept airflow moving inward so the ailerons stayed effective during steep maneuvers, but the unstable aircraft required three flight computers to keep correcting it.

Clicking Don't recommend this channel. Does a short on the X-29, give inaccurate information and shows clips of aircraft other than the actual X-29. Pathetic.
