Grumman Greenhouse is a sculpture by Philadelphia artist Jordan Griska (BFA '08) installed in 2011 for Lenfest Plaza.
I took this photograph in 2017 but never posted it. I remember talking to the pilot, he told me it was a difficult plane to fly. He said that the plane almost killed him twice.

THE GRUMMAN MARTLET SINGLE-SEAT FIGHTER
The Martlet is another of those tubby little American fighters which look like flying barrels. In general appearance, it is not unlike the Buffalo, though its square-cut wing-tips and more tapered fuselage should prevent confusion between the two types.
Like the Buffalo, the Martlet is in service with the Fleet Air Arm. Very little has been said yet about the Martlet's work, but it is safe to say that some of our newer aircraft carriers have Martlets aboard.
This aircraft should give a very good account of itself over the sea because it has the three things essential to an F.A.A. fighter: speed, manoeuvrability, and range. Its maximum range is 1,150 miles, which would enable it to be used as a fast scouting plane as well as for immediate protection of the Fleet or of convoys.
An unusual feature in the Martlet is the provision of two small windows under the pilot's feet, to enable him to have more than the normal look-out below.
It is known that the Martlet has already had encounters with
the Luftwaffe and has acquitted itself very well.

The Grumman Wildcat and the Grumman Martlet are essentially the same aircraft - the Martlet being the RAF variant. This IWM variant started life in the USA in 1945 before moving to IWM in 1993
The Grumman X-29A was an experimental aircraft with forward-swept wings, designed in the 1980s. It featured a General Electric F404 engine, enabling supersonic speeds. Notably, its advanced computerized flight control system managed inherent instability, showcasing the potential for unconventional aerodynamic configurations in future aircraft development.
