Federal government and DoD should have split the Contract Between the F 22 and the Northrop Grumman YF -23 share the advantage for both Cintractors and the DoD.
While that would be nice, it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars in double tooling, higher per unit cost (fewer of each craft), double the need for spare parts, double the dedicated mechanic training, double the level of effort to investigate incidents, debug them, etc. Even with just the F-22, budgetary concerns cut the order for the F-22 to just ONE QUARTER of what was initially planned. 750 were planned. But 'only' 187 were built, and not all were completed and maintained to the same level. The costs for these aircraft have grown so much that the Air Force has paused their development of their 6th generation fighter.
F-22 is nolonger in production. China has 300 J-20s and adding 100 per year. Quality is nonstop improving, J-20, J-20A, J-20B, J-20S. Radars, electronic equipment and missiles are improving too. CIA can't read Chinese. Please read the news Zhuhai Airshow.
3:38 I'm so impressed that the YF-23 generated zero zero zero pounds of thrust with afterburner and its ability to supercruze, which must be much better than supercruise. When using an AI generated voice and a computerized voice-to-text generator. PLEASE spend a few minutes to check that both the text and voice not only say what was intended, but also correctly spell it? There are LOTS of OBVIOUS spelling errors, and a few voice errors
@@shabnammamun2761 That's a good point. The images don't even faithfully resemble the exterior outline of the YF-23. The rear vertical stabilizers are not canted over as far as on the 'real' YF-23. The top of the fuselage on a real YF has much more pronounced bulges for the two air passages. And,, the wing itself differs a lot from the YF-23. That gross misrepresentation earned this video a thumbs down.
yf-23 had cooled exhaust like the f-117 lowering it's heat signature.
