August 14, 2010 - Grumman X-29 •
Experimental aircraft that tested a forward-swept wing, canard control surfaces, and other novel aircraft technologies. The aerodynamic instability of this arrangement increased agility but required the use of computerized fly-by-wire control. First flight 1984.

August 13, 2010 - Morane-Saulnier Type N •
French monoplane fighter aircraft of the First World War. Used wing warping instead of ailerons.
The Type N mounted a single unsynchronized forward-firing machine gun which used the deflector wedges in order to fire through the propeller arc.
Later removed, the large metal spinner designed to streamline the aircraft caused the engines to overheat because the spinner deflected air away from the engine.
