Could The USA Build A Forward Swept Aircraft?

There are many types of aircraft wings aside from the current ones you are familiar with.. Well, maybe not the Star Wars X-wing fighter...not yet anyway. Some of these concept-wing jets are so bizarre that you’ll wonder how they even got into the air…
Check out the Grumman X-29 with its forward-swept wing, and canard control surfaces which some would call a bold innovation...if these can be called that at all. It was created during the height of the Cold War by the ‘men in black’ at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency or DARPA for short. NASA was also in on the game with the U.S. Air Force along with aerospace behemoth Grumman. It made its first flight in 1984 as part of a program to build the ultimate fighter jet.
It is the most aerodynamically unstable aircraft ever built. In fact, it was literally impossible to fly this aircraft without a digital flight computer onboard making corrections to the flight path 40 times per second! The engineers of the aircraft all came to the conclusion that if all three redundant flight computers, backed up by three analog computers, failed, the airplane would have broken up around the pilot before they had a chance to eject!
