Alternative X-30 wing designs

I’m working on fixing those aerodynamic flaws I showed you before. Since I don’t know that much about aeronautics, I decided to just experiment with some wing designs. I sketched them out, and I’m going to try every one (and see why they fail). Here’s set 1:
wings1

And here’s set 2 (the top-right one is Tu-2000-like design):
wings2

I will do this when I can, because every simulation takes considerable time, and post results in here. I think the delta wing, and the variant like bottom-left on wing set 1 would work.
