Those forward wings just don't look right. You say we tested one, do we have any that "work".

Hi Snippy....yes the X-29 Series test aircraft.
The forward wing does certain things as turning and lift go..but it needs to be a **Clean wing...no ordinance can hang from the wings..or it ruins the wings properties.
The Russian SU 47/37 Berkut has weapons bay internal..like the U.S. F-22 Raptor.

This is a hypothetical U.S. design..some say it actually exists ..I would expect..the concept to appear in the future.

Hypothesised U.S. Jet known as "Switchblade"
