mutley 4,487 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 From FSD International- http://www.fsd-international.com/Hangar/YF23/Index.htm The YF-23 was designed for survivability, supersonic, stealth, and ease of maintenance. Designed with all-aspect stealth as a high priority, Northrop introduced the novel feature of rear jet nozzle troughs lined with heat ablating tiles developed by Allison, which shielded the exhaust from infrared detection from below. The most notable feature of the YF-23 was the trapezoidal wing configuration. The trapezoidal design allows for a thin wing with low drag at high speeds, while maintaining high strength and stiffness. The YF-23 is both faster and stealthier than any other jet fighter. Set yourself free in the cockpit of the YF-23...push the throttle forward, pull back on the stick and ride this rocket straight to 65,000 feet! http://www.fsd-international.com/Hangar/YF23/trial.htm /message Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 It's an odd choice of an AC to market for FS. There will not be an F-23. The Y indicates a prototype. It lost out in the competition to the F-22 and no more will be built. John Link to post Share on other sites
