Nothing about Boeing in the article (except the title). They're calling it the Grumman X-29. (Wikipedia concurs.)


FWIW, my introduction to this unusual forward swept wing style aircraft was in Jane's ATF simulation game for the PC back in the mid-90s as a kid and they definitely called it the Grumman X-29. I have no idea how accurate the flight physics were, but boy that was a fun aircraft to fly in the game. I scoffed at the mere concept of having to worry about AOA!


Definitely a Grumman when it was built.
