Stealth definetely has its limits but, dang this thing is like "you want stealth? Hold my beer bro. GS hold this AMRAAM". He was playing with his food, that last kill was so disrespectful.

I've always loved the YF-23. I am an engineer and worked in aerospace for 25 years. I was visiting a Northrop Grumman facility in SoCal once for work and at the end of some meetings the prog manager asked if I'd like a tour of the F-/A-18 production line. Ummm, yes please. as we walked down the line and I gawked at everything he could see the excitement in my eyes. He said, "you want to see something really cool?" Um, double yes please. He took me out back behind the building and sitting in a rear parking lot was one of the YF-23 prototype birds. I almost cried. Such a beautiful machine. This was a few years after the ATF fly off and she had been effectively mothballed, engines removed, canopy was coated, etc., just sitting in the CA sun.

From what I have read the YF-22 was a less risky design, it was much further along in development and the Air Force was wary about giving Northrup contracts for both the B2 and the YF-23. The YF-23 was supposed to be substantially stealthier, faster and the second prototype had advanced GE adaptive cycle engines.
@davidryder3374 Жыл бұрын
That's what I read as well, back in the day. Additionally, there was another Northrup project that had just been cancelled, and the government was worried that that cancellation might affect Northrup's ability to bring the -23 to production. I was disappointed that it all came down to politics rather than quantitative measurements.
@caseychambers2693 Жыл бұрын
Which is funny because today I now have worries about Lockheed getting too many contracts. It seems like everything with large bids goes to Lockheed. I’m almost certain they’ll win NGAD and FA-XX. And with HIMARS being presumably the dominant artillery system of the 21st century and also winning naval contracts with LCS you get towards a defense company too large for national security quite quickly. At least Grumman got the B-21 but it seems like Boeing is getting pushed out of the military aircraft market. I guess they can get AWACS and refueling aircrafts only. But we seem to be rapidly approaching a two prime contractor environment where Lockheed builds fighters and Northrop builds bombers and that’s it.
@Bellthorian Жыл бұрын
@@caseychambers2693 Lockheed needs to be reigned in. The LCS was possibly the WORST weapons program EVER for the US Military. While the F-35 is AWESOME in a lot of areas the program itself is a total failure in terms of lead time and cost overruns. The Pentagon needs to write into its contracts that if there are manufacturing or design defects the CONTRACTOR is financially responsible for fixing it. Lockheed has a long history of over promising and under delivering.

Very interesting! Whereas the F-22's superiority over the F-15 is spread out "across the board", the YF-23's superiority is concentrated more in the "low observability" domain. Not that we have a whole lot of real-world data points to go by, but my initial impression after watching your two fights against the YF-23 is that the YF-23 is MORE dominant than the F-22 against 4th generation fighters, but head-to-head against another 5th generation fighter the F-22's superior maneuverability would give it the edge as the fight degrades to within visual range on approximately equal terms. So does that YF-23 now have two blimp silhouettes stenciled below the canopy??

I loved this video. I wish i could see more f23 fights. So disappointed they never did anything with it.

It was definitely the "Oh no , not again" for me 🤣😂💀. My boy had flashbacks of the other YF project creeping up on him .

That was pretty cool I've never seen the insides of a blimp before.

It's great to see some YF-23 action, even if it is a simulation that is guessing the capability of a project that is still largely classified of an aircraft that never made it into production.

That was great. 2-3 golf had to be having a great time playing with his food.

Reminds me of the time you were in the f-22 against a couple of flankers. Laughing while you came up from behind and gun them both. I guess this was payback.

I remember as a kid having the GI Joe Storm Eagle toy which was the YF-23.

An OG GG twice splashed a GS on DCS. That was fun to say out loud.

How the turntables. Looking at all the new 5th gen fighters coming out, it actually seems like the f22 was a better long term decision, seeing as if you fight another stealth fighter, you could end up at the merge if neither can detect each other.
