The Northrop/McDonnell Douglas YF-23 is an American single-seat, twin-engine stealth fighter aircraft technology demonstrator designed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The design was a finalist in the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) competition, battling the Lockheed YF-22 for a production contract. Two YF-23 prototypes were built, nicknamed "Black Widow II" and "Gray Ghost".

Another reason why the 23 lost is because while the manuvering was basically the same and the nit picking of the negative qualities was just a witch hunt, the way the thing achieved almost equal maneuverability was through controll surfaces, while the 22 was partly through jet exhaust, and jet exhaust (unless you stick the intake on the top of the plane) does not care about stall speed, so if the YF-23 tried to do such maneuvers it might have some problems due to retarding drag and turbulent air flow on the Ruddervators, something that the F-22 would also suffer from but not tremendously due to the assistance of the previously stated development.
Truly STEALTH aircraft
@JADE117 alright man, take ur time :3
@Trapskiller Let me study for a while. There is a 50/50 chance that I will.
@JADE117 that would be really cool. Can u do one for the RMAF. The new verison, not the old one with square idsina
I AM THE 20TH UPVOTE
@femboykiller0w0 United States seal I took it from another plane. But if you want to build things of other lands i think i can
How did u manage to make that emblem? Is it possible to make other nation emblem?
Rarest fighter jet
YF-23 > YF-22
@LMT55 thanks
@Marz2 thanks
Finally someone makes a good YF-23 in simple planes. The plane looks good and has realistic speed although the low speed maneuverability isn't the most realistic its still good.
Good
@JADE117 It unfairly lost to the F-22
@FirstFish83828 why
Crying intensely
