It was flown together by NASA and the Air Force as a testbed for joint interests. While promising and positively reviewed by test pilots, the aircraft’s new technologies made it one of the most aerodynamically unstable planes in the history of aviation. An incredibly complex system was needed to continually calibrate the controls to keep the X-29 in the air.
