Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic November 21, 2012 Share November 21, 2012 Step a side F35 .... Here comes the Northrop Grumman YF 23 or also known as Black Widow II.

macrosszero Turbocharged November 21, 2012 Share November 21, 2012 Ar? The YF-23 Black Widow was flown in the 1980s in a head to head competition against the YF-22 which evolved into today's F/A-22 Raptor. Supposedly it performed better in all respects that the YF-22 but the '22 was chosen due to engine commonality, or some other mundane reason. Its the same mindset that's seen US carriers use the basic Hornet platform to play the roles of intercept, attack, tanker, electronic warfare where there used to be 4-5 aircraft types to carry out each task. The term jack of all trades, master of none, come to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocus Turbocharged November 21, 2012 Share November 21, 2012 Wrong info dude. The YF23 was not chosen as the airforce prefer the F22 raptor. Only 2 prototypes were built, all in some museum... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This latest one sucessfully tested only in 2010. Maybe I am worng about this. There will be some bros in mcf, expert in this will come in to explain...

Ahtong 1st Gear November 21, 2012 Share November 21, 2012 This is my favourite Stealth Fighter that was never built. In the 1980s, US govt revealed they were building stealth aircraft. Based on the sketchiest of info, model makers came up with their own creative interpretation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic November 21, 2012 Share November 21, 2012 With this type of wings, I guess the flying is mostly done by computers. W/o it, I dont think the pilot will be able to tame the plane!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
