Why this aircraft matters
The YF-23 was developed for the Advanced Tactical Fighter programme. It competed against the YF-22 during the early 1990s.
Its focus on speed and low observability shaped later stealth thinking. Only two prototypes flew, making it a key what if aircraft in US Air Force history.
How to use it
Display it beside other fifth generation prototypes or Cold War era jets. Its wide planform stands out even at 1/72 scale.
Does your collection show the road not taken in fighter design? This YF-23 answers that question.
This is a diecast model. It is fragile and not recommended for children.
