pizzagalli.ch - Northrop Grumman P-30 For X-Plane

P-30 is a new project different from what currently exists. The plane has the wings reversed in the direction of advance, a technique very difficult to carry out, because of the enormous stresses on the wings in supersonic mode. But today with composite materials, this has become possible. The 1980s Grumman X-29 (1984 to 1991 for the last flight) was designed to explore this promising technique.

It's been 40 years already.

The plane was a success, but I do not know the reasons for its abandonment. The X-29 clearly inspired this P30. This is the reason why its name is: Northrop Grumman P30.

The Sukhoi SU-47 uses the same principles, but later, in 1997. that airplane also was abandoned.

For the pleasure of making and flying this P-30 aircraft, it is also vertical takeoff, with orientable thrust vectors.
