The Grumman forward swept wing X-29 experimental aircraft was adapted from an existing F-5A airframe. Because of the inherent aerodynamic instability of the forward swept wing design (think of an arrow shot backwards) a computerized fly by wire control system was necessary. The advantage of this design as opposed to conventional back swept wings were higher lift-to-drag ratio, higher capacity in dogfight maneuvers, higher range at subsonic speed, improved stall resistance and anti-spin characteristics, improved stability at high angles of attack, a lower minimum flight speed and, a shorter take-off and landing distance but, all of this came with a price of inherent instability and much higher drag at near supersonic speeds. The forward swept wings, with movable canards, gave pilots excellent control response at up to 45 degrees angle of attack. Because of the availability of F-5s and advances in low cost computer control systems Turkish Aerospace Industries has considered upgrading some existing TuAf F-5s with X-29 designs.

The Grumman X-29 was an experimental aircraft that explored a number of new technologies; the most immediately obvious being the forward-swept wings and canard control surface. The inherent aerodynamic instability of this arrangement required the use of computerized fly-by-wire control, and advanced composite materials were needed to make the wing sufficiently rigid without being unacceptably heavy. The X-29 first flew in 1984 and two X-29s were flight tested over the next decade. Two X-29As were built by Grumman Aerospace Corporation, the first flight taking place in 1984. The aircraft were adapted from two existing Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter airframes (63-8372 became 82-0003 and 65-10573 became 82-0049) (after the proposal had been chosen over a competing one involving a General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon). The X-29 design made use the forward fuselage and nose landing gear from the F-5As with the control surface actuators and main landing gear from the F-16. The Grumman internal designation for the X-29 was "Grumman Model 712" or "G-712". On December 13, 1985 one of the X-29s became the first forward swept wing aircraft to fly in supersonic, level flight. The earlier Junkers Ju 287 had been the first jet aircraft with forward-swept wings. The test program of the two X-29s continued from 1984 to 1991. The X-29A demonstrated excellent control and maneuvering qualities at an angle of attack up to 45 degrees. There was also a decrease in turbulence. However, the wing configuration made the craft inherently unstable and it could fly only with the constant corrections (up to 40 per second) provided by the computerized flight control system. The system was made up of three redundant digital computers backed up by three redundant analog computers; any of the three could fly it on its own, but the redundancy allowed them to check for errors. Each of the three would "vote" on their measurements, so that if any one was malfunctioning it could be detected. It was estimated that a total failure of the system was as unlikely as a mechanical failure in an airplane with a conventional arrangement.

In this video the WWE shows to us that Jericho is returning. How? Well... Look at the video, there is all explained. Some clues that are not explained in the video: *19: Is the day when he will return *The answer is the code: the answer is the "x29" converted to "Y2J" *Sorry if you can't understand, my english is not perfect :(
