YF-23 Black Widow

270 KingNugg  2.1 years ago

It was Lockheed Martin's YF-22 Raptor vs Northrops YF-23 Black Widow. The YF-23 had a smaller radar cross section thanks to its lacking of a vertical stabilizer, but the Raptor was more maneuverable and easier to manufacture. The F-22 Raptor was chosen. The unworldly YF-23 Black Widow was lost to history. I wasn't able to fully make the YF-23 due to lack of skill. I might come back to this in the future.
