The YF-23 was Northrop/McDonald Douglas direct competitor to the YF-22 or F-22 Raptor we know today. While the YF-23 was faster, and far more agile at high speeds, the F-22 was favored as being more versitle, and stable at low speeds. Much of this aircrafts hard data is pretty much classified, which is no suprise considering it looks likes a UFO. What is known is it utilized a trapazoidal wing configuration, and "S-Duct" intakes giving it a very unique profile. While it looked very cool,& it also needed some of the most advance fly-by-wire systems to keep it's naturally-unstable design under control. While being being unstable may seems like a bad thing, this actually helps make the aircraft very agile and has been used on aircraft like the F-16. It's odd wing shape gave it a superior angle of attack capabilities over the Raptor. Only two functional prototypes were built. This particluar model was design for usage on mobile devices for the pilot on the go.

Notes: For potential pilots this aircaft has 5 ATA Missles located on the segment behind the cockpit, use VTOL to extend before firing, If you ever need to change the loadout just pull off the back segment, and all 5 missles and the pistons that hold them should be easy to access once you remove it. The Gyro that acts as the active fly-by-wire is located under the segment that has the antena mast on it. Group 1 activates the lights. Depending on the type of pilot you can change how much stability is applied. This craft is tunable to your flying style so don't be afraid to change around it's settings.
