The X-29 was a mere experimental thing. It's cool and everything, but it's experimental. And Russia has the SU-47 which is a experimental plane too. And the FSW designs aren't good. They risk the airframe, the pilot and the money inverted on such designs. And you can't put anything on those wings without breaking them up.
