The XB-1
The XB-1 is what results when you cross the Rockwell B-1B Lancer, the Boeing 2707 and some early concepts of the boom overture. The plane is surprisingly manouverable thanks to its unusual controls setup with the canards and the swing-wing. But also because with the wings fully forward it becomes aerodynamically unstable and the computer provides the needed stability.
