Why doesn't the navy like single engine

2020-11-16 13:51:33 UTC  

I mean, I get it that you don't have a back up engine in case of a flame out and the project was backed up by supply and bugs, but its still a damn fine plane

2020-11-16 13:51:47 UTC  

F35 gets too much shit

> Why doesn't the navy like single engine
@Identity crisis the plane Security reasons, in the event of a flame out, you still have 1 engine to propel you home

@Identity crisis the plane Tell that to the reformers, they literally made fake news about the plane in order to prevent export buyers

2020-11-16 13:53:27 UTC  

Why not just convert the yf23 into a carrier aircraft

@Identity crisis the plane YF23 is prohibitly expensive to maintain, its exhaust silica tiles are millions as well as the stealth paint

2020-11-16 13:57:03 UTC  

The yf23 was killed by politics, the original plan was that since the f22 won the contest, the yf23 would be naval, but politicians cancelled that

2020-11-16 13:57:53 UTC  

But the YF23 also had a lot of fees to consider and the fact that YF23 didn't do any weapons testing made F-22 more appealing

2020-11-16 13:58:37 UTC  

The yf23 still is an amazing aircraft on par or superior to the yf22

2020-11-16 13:58:37 UTC  

plus consider the fact that F-22 doesn't use Silica tiles to hide its exhaust signature

@Identity crisis the plane Maybe more agile, but more expensive and hangar queen to maintain

2020-11-16 13:59:21 UTC  

The f22 was more agile actually

2020-11-16 13:59:35 UTC  

F22 had thrust vectoring and was smaller

2020-11-16 13:59:36 UTC  

Heard the other way around

2020-11-16 13:59:36 UTC  

Yess the 55.86 is a Majical machine

2020-11-16 14:00:02 UTC  

The yf23 was stealthier, faster and had better range but wasn't as agile

2020-11-16 14:00:35 UTC  

"better range"<:KEK:726877368601411624>

2020-11-16 14:00:48 UTC  

Have you heard of Super cruise?

2020-11-16 14:01:01 UTC  

Yf23 and yf22 had supercruise

2020-11-16 14:01:30 UTC  

Yf23 supercruise is faster than f16 on full afterburner

2020-11-16 14:01:37 UTC  

> Yf23 and yf22 had supercruise
@Identity crisis the plane Never heard of YF23 having it, last I knew it used a different engine with no supercruise

2020-11-16 14:01:53 UTC  

The requirement was supercruise for both planes

2020-11-16 14:02:04 UTC  

Interesting...

2020-11-16 14:02:12 UTC  

The yf23 has supercruise

2020-11-16 14:02:21 UTC  

so there was media black out for YF23...

2020-11-16 14:02:41 UTC  

I'm not sure

2020-11-16 14:03:11 UTC  

You just said YF 23 had Supercruise and both planes were supposed to have it

2020-11-16 14:03:26 UTC  

meanwhile my sources state that only F-22 has it

2020-11-16 14:03:33 UTC  

What source

2020-11-16 14:03:46 UTC  

which is not only peculiar, but also strange

2020-11-16 14:04:20 UTC  

It had the same engine as the f22, yf119

2020-11-16 14:04:33 UTC  

And the yf120

2020-11-16 14:04:45 UTC  

Both yf23 and yf22 had those engines

2020-11-16 14:05:07 UTC  

> What source
@Identity crisis the plane I search a lot in the Military forums and blogs

2020-11-16 14:05:59 UTC  

The yf23 engine was made to supercruise, pratt & Whitley f119

2020-11-16 14:06:30 UTC  

I mean, what I heard was that the YF 23 used a non super cruise engine in testing, but you said that the super cruise was a requirement, so it conflicts with my sources making them the liars

2020-11-16 14:07:06 UTC  

There were 2 yf23 prototypes, they both had different engines

2020-11-16 14:07:32 UTC  

I know there were 2 of them, both are museum pieces now

2020-11-16 14:07:43 UTC  

The yf120 engine couldn't supercruise which was on one of the prototypes
