Here is my Rockwell HiMAT (Highly Maneuverable Aircraft Technology). A test best drone aircraft designed in the late 1970s / Early 1980s to test High maneuverability designs using remote control piloting. A test bed for the Grumman X-29.

As that title implies, it is VERY maneuverable, possible to lose control pretty quickly...

VTOL - Flaps.
