Japan and the YF-23 : r/CredibleDefense - Reddit
2016年1月31日 · The YF-23 was a very early prototype. It would take another 15 years and ~$25 billion to turn it into an F-23. Total development would cost ~$27 billion (using the Raptor as a guide) and take 20 years (average for modern fighters). In …
The YF-23 is beautiful : r/aviation - Reddit
2019年3月15日 · The YF-23 never demonstrated weapons launch from its internal bay, which featured an unproven, complex rotary magazine design. The YF-22 demonstrated AIM-9 and AIM-120 launch capability right off the bat. The YF-23 was faster than the YF-22, but not by much. The difference was Mach 1.58 for the -22 and Mach 1.6 for the -23.
Some interesting facts about the Advanced Tactical Fighter (YF-22, …
2024年5月29日 · The YF-22 and YF-23 never directly competed against each other The YF-22 and YF-23 were the ATF prototype air vehicles (PAV) from the Demonstration and Validation (Dem/Val) phase, but the requirement for flying prototypes was a late addition and a fallout of the Packard Commission that encouraged prototyping, and the ATF program office was ...
Northrop YF-23's insane geometry : r/WeirdWings - Reddit
2022年7月9日 · Being at the very top end of the price/performance envelope is necessarily a short-lived condition. The F-22/YF-23 have been phenomenally important as development programmes - you can't get to the next one without making the current one - but ultimately there's only a very small window where "it is the best" is going to be true.
Forbidden YF-23 : r/NonCredibleDefense - Reddit
I want Northrop's NGAD project to be a YF-23 successor that gets chosen, replacing both the old F-22s and some F-15s. Moreso since the Pentagon insisted that the design is still too potent to share with even Japan, as supposedly a modernized version would outperform the F-22.

YF-23 looks better than the F-22, fight me. : r/acecombat - Reddit
2019年4月29日 · In addition, the YF-23 faced problems in the potential reliability and performance of its troublesome, albeit innovative weapons bay design. Cost really did matter at the time given that the Cold War arms war had ended/was coming to a close and the USAF really needed to minimize cost to convince congress it was necessary.
YF 23 and YF 22 : r/aviation - Reddit
2019年1月16日 · YF-23 was not faster. This is an outright lie, the intake design limited it to mach 2.2 the same as the F22, and neither jet reached their top speed in testing. The engine which gave the YF-23 better cruise performance was cancelled. The YF23’s cruise performance has been exceeded by the production F22 anyway.
YF-23, the mostly forgotten F22 competitor [2000x1348] - Reddit
2015年4月21日 · The YF-23 was indeed reported to be even stealthier than the F22, but it came at the expense of manoeuvring. Since the F22 is the air dominance fighter, it had to be good at both things, rather than really good in one and ok to bad in the other.
Here are some less-seen YF-23 photos since there were some
Funny to think if the YF-23 would’ve won, all the countries using the F-22 as influence for their 5th gens(TF Kaan 🇹🇷, KF-21 🇰🇷, J-35/FC-31, J-20🇨🇳) would’ve looked wildly different.
