The Northrop/McDonnell Douglas
YF-23 was a prototype fighter aircraft designed for the United States Air
Force. The YF-23 was a finalist in the U.S. Air Force's Advanced Tactical
Fighter competition. The YF-23 lost the
contest to the Lockheed YF-22, which entered production as the Lockheed Martin
F-22 Raptor.
The YF-23 was designed to meet
USAF requirements for survivability, supersonic cruise (supercruise), stealth,
and ease of maintenance. Designed with all-aspect stealth as a high priority.
The YF-23 was an unconventional-looking aircraft with trapezoidal wings,
substantial area-ruling, and a V-tail. Similar to the B-2, the exhaust from the
YF-23's engines flows through troughs lined with heat ablating tiles, which
shields the exhaust from infrared (IR) missile detection from below. The wing
flaps and ailerons deflect inversely on either side to provide roll. Pitch was
provided by movement of both V-tails, and yaw was supplied by opposite
movement. Deflecting the wing flaps down and ailerons up on both sides
simultaneously provided for aerodynamic braking。
