The Sukhoi Su-47 is probably my absolute favorite design, having forward canards and forward swept wings. This design looks incredible and performs surprisingly well. At low or high speeds, it is highly manuverable and very stable at extreme angles of attack. It is truly a shame that the design didn't catch on. Especially when it's performance is top notch. The Su-47 could have been a real threat with it's 30mm cannon and 14 missile hard points (2 wingtip, 6-8 underwing and 4-6 mounted on the fuselage).
