About

The Northrop/McDonnell Douglas YF-23 is an American single-seat, twin-engine, supersonic stealth fighter aircraft technology demonstrator designed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The design team was a finalist in the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) demonstration/validation competition, battling the YF-22 team for the full-scale development contract. Two YF-23 prototypes were built. (Wikipedia, 2024).

Notes
Modified from TheUltimatePlaneLover's [PEA] Northrop YF-23 Black Widow II. I just saw it while trying to build up a lineup for worldbuilding purposes and I figured that I wanted to try and improve it since the fuselage he made didn't feel right. Well it eventually turned into me also editing the intakes and well I may as well try to give it some artificial stability... Anyway there's that now, still a bit unstable but I think it looks good. TUPL if you're reading this I hope you like it.
