The X-29 Advanced Technology Demonstrator Program is underway and in flight status at NASA Dryden Flight Research Facility. The joint US Air Force, NASA DARPA, Grumman Aerospace Corporation program is demonstrating a set of advanced airframe technologies for consideration by designers of tomorrow's combat aircraft. These technologies are described and preliminary quantitative results are discussed. These technologies are integrated within the X-29 airframe. Tomorrow's combat aircraft will require new, integrated technologies and will benefit from the X-29 integration experience base. The X-29 aircraft is being considered for several potential test bed demonstrations of new equipment and airframe concepts and will serve well in this role to satisfy near term requirements.
