Grumman X-29

Figured the Grumman X-29 could use a topic of its own. 

Here's a sketch for a second generation Grumman X-29. Bigger engine, bigger wings, main undercarriage moved to booms which also house the vertical stabs now.

Interesting. What about a Hornet/Super Hornet-based machine? That would be a logical progression, and would work quite well with those huge LERXs to mount the canards on.

Or the competing F-16 derived option:

Always thought the X-29 was Cool Did you know the X-29 was a Plane you could Unlock in 'Ace Combat 5 the Unsung War'? think the X-29 would be Workable for a 'Gerry Anderson' style Whif? seemed to have that feel to me!  :cheers:Dan

Got a few X-29 kits to do up as aggressors and adversaries . . . One in progress with a good what if twist

I did these a few years ago. The base F-29 I did was using an F-5E forward fuselage instead of the F-5A the X-29 had.

I once built a FSW TU-26 before this was cool. Sadly it was destroyed during a move.You could say it was ""inspired".

Looks a bit like a Grippen with forward swept wings
