Grumman X-29

The United States Air Force purchased the Grumman X-29 aircraft in the 1980s and 1990s. This aircraft had forward-swept wings that were more aerodynamic, but it was impossible to fly. The digital flight computers allowed it to correct its trajectory as many as forty times per second, which is something that would be impossible to perform without computers.
