DESCRIPTION :
======================

F-23A Grey Ghost is fictional version of the YF-23, based on "What IF" scenario. it's focus on improve the weapon capabilites, modify the cockpit and external design.

(YF-23 Description)
The Northrop/McDonnell Douglas YF-23 was an American single-seat, twin-engine stealth fighter aircraft technology demonstrator designed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The design was a finalist in the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) competition, battling the Lockheed YF-22 for a production contract. Two YF-23 prototypes were built, nicknamed "Black Widow II" and "Gray Ghost".

In the 1980s, the USAF began looking for a replacement for its fighter aircraft, especially to counter the USSR's advanced Sukhoi Su-27 and Mikoyan MiG-29. Several companies submitted design proposals; the USAF selected proposals from Northrop and Lockheed. Northrop teamed with McDonnell Douglas to develop the YF-23, while Lockheed, Boeing and General Dynamics developed the YF-22.

The YF-23 was stealthier and faster, but less agile than its competitor. After a four-year development and evaluation process, the YF-22 was announced the winner in 1991 and entered production as the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. The U.S. Navy considered using the production version of the ATF as the basis for a replacement to the F-14, but these plans were later canceled. The two YF-23 prototypes were museum exhibits as of 2010.

Developer Commentary

1. this F-23A is basically "fictional" aircraft. so something ,or many things are different than original YF-23.
2. canopy is frameless bubble canopy like F-22.
3. weapons bay is follow YF-23 bay but more expand and larger.
4. this F-23A have small M61 Vulcan ammo drum because lack of space(because large weapon bay) so only can carry 280 rounds.
5. F-23A is can fly more faster and higher,but less agile and slow acceleration than F-22.
6. hope you enjoy this aircraft!
