There were a number of reasons: the use of advanced composites in aircraft construction; variable camber wing surfaces; a forward-swept wing and a thin supercritical aerofoil; strake flaps; close-coupled canards; and a computerized fly-by-wire flight control system to maintain control of the otherwise unstable aircraft.
