The first X-plane designed to investigate something other than supersonic flight was the X-4. Rather than go for speed and altitude records as previous X-planes would, the X-4 was intended to test a tailless configuration in high subsonic flight. Northrop handled construction, building a compact design vaguely reminiscent of the Me 163. Powered by two J30 turbojets, it was given a vertical tail, but it lacked any horizontal surfaces. The first X-4 would fly in November 1948, but a host of mechanical issues forced NACA to retire the aircraft early. Fortunately, the second prototype proved reliable enough to allow testing to commence. Pitch testing found that the X-4 experienced pitch oscillations as it approached Mach 0.88, and problems with inertia coupling and Mach tuck began to arise past that. A hastily engineered solution - propping the split flaps open 5 degrees - solved the instability issues, allowing pilots to push the X-4 up to Mach 0.92. Unfortunately, while the problems were mitigated, the configuration remained unsuitable for supersonic flight. The X-4 would be a success in that it met test program goals, but ultimately it would prove tailless designs to be unsuitable for supersonic flight.

Sebulba and Clegg Holdfast Jostle Over the Desert Plain
STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace - Deleted Scene: Extended Podrace Lap Two 00:05
This sequence of scenes would have appeared somewhere between 01:02:25 and 01:05:38, though various parts of it did make it into the final film.
