Default YF-23 Possible revival!!!

Introduction:

The Northrop/McDonnell Douglas YF-23 was an American prototype fighter aircraft designed for the United States Air Force. The YF-23 was entered in Advanced Tactical Fighter competition but lost out to the Lockheed YF-22, which entered production as the F-22 Raptor


Possible revival:


In late 2004, Northrop Grumman proposed a YF-23 based design for the USAF's interim bomber requirement, a role for which the FB-22 and B-1R are also competing. Aircraft PAV-2 was moved from the Western Museum of Flight to Northrop's plant for refurbishment after being on outside display for more than a decade. Northrop used the aircraft to create a full scale model of its proposed interim bomber. The interim bomber requirement has since been canceled in favor of a more long-term, permanent bomber replacement requirement. The same YF-23-derived design could possibly be adapted to fulfill this role as well, however.
