Looks like a little Northrop signature at the rear there.

Re: Aviation & Military Aviation Thread
Yep! That's Lobbyists for you the YF-23 was the better bird in my opinion longer range, considerably, stealthier PAV2 with her General Electric engines was faster even with supercruise. The lack of horizontal stabilizers probably helped the YF-22 clinch it on maneuverability. |

Re: Aviation & Military Aviation Thread
It was indeed developed by Northrop.  The government had to award them a contract in the end, with two failed attempts at JSF and the YF-23.  |

Re: Aviation & Military Aviation Thread
Yes Northrop now Northrop Grumman have frequently used zigzag like angles at the rear of their birds, i'm guessing to deflect radar waves as they hit it like with the B-2 Spirit and of course theYF-23.   |
