Daily reminder that Lockmart bribed their way to the sky.

>>33968990
Daily reminder that the YF-23 has exposed fanblades at certain angles that would coinside with Sam angle of detection. (15 degree negative, forward)


The USAF made the right choice.

>>33969014
Daily reminder of how to recognize Lockheed shills.

>>33969035
You are the shill with zero factual basis.

>The curve of the intakes was sufficient to mask the engine fan blades from being detected by radar directly ahead, but there was a hotspot where the blades could be detected line-of-sight at an approx vector angle of 18° outwards and 13° downwards. At all other vectors the fan blades were masked.

Stop posting, brainlet. We are not even talking about the exhaust.

>>33969086
Most don't. The YF-23 was more technically risky all around, for extremely marginal improvements overall. It carried less armament too, with a less complete demonstrator.

The USAF made the right choice.

To add, the engines also have to rotate as the wings move

Holy shit, the actual madman.

Whats the date of the design?

B-2 is a pretty bomber. When i saw the B-2 on the Discovery Channel for the first time, i thought that they by accident, unveiled an alien spacecraft.

Also that B-2 scene in Independence Day completely blew my mind away, it is such a good scene in establishing the awesomeness of the machine.

Nah, they were pretty cool at that time. Irrelevant for the war, but still cool.

>>33970303
Yeah I know. Despite them suffering from Germany's severe lack of everything they were pretty cool.
