Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *YF-23, Americas* Both the YF-22 and YF-23 had dual-engine exhaust pipes and a blended wing-body configuration. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The YF-23 had some amazing design features, despite ultimately losing to the F-22. The U.S. Air Force chose to build the F-22 in the 1980s following an extensive and thorough competition, a process that appears to have led to the engineering of the most dominant air-to-air platform in the world. Interestingly, there were several other competitors also seeking to build the jet, and meet the Air Force’s supercruise, thrust, s...

The venerable Boeing F-15C Eagle has long been hailed as the world’s greatest air superiority fighter given its lopsided combat record of 104 kills to zero losses, however, the aging jet is likely near the end of its operational life.
