The Northrop/McDonnell Douglas YF-23 was a prototype fighter aircraft designed for the United States Air Force. The YF-23 was a finalist in the U.S. Air Force's Advanced Tactical Fighter competition. The YF-23 lost the contest to the Lockheed YF-22, which entered production as the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor.
The YF-23 was designed to meet USAF requirements for survivability, supersonic cruise (supercruise), stealth, and ease of maintenance. Designed with all-aspect stealth as a high priority. The YF-23 was an unconventional-looking aircraft with trapezoidal wings, substantial area-ruling, and a V-tail. Similar to the B-2, the exhaust from the YF-23's engines flows through troughs lined with heat ablating tiles, which shields the exhaust from infrared (IR) missile detection from below. The wing flaps and ailerons deflect inversely on either side to provide roll. Pitch was provided by movement of both V-tails, and yaw was supplied by opposite movement. Deflecting the wing flaps down and ailerons up on both sides simultaneously provided for aerodynamic braking。

Northrop YF-23 Black Window est un prototype d'avion de chasse américain de cinquième génération, qui a perdu la concurrence au profit du YF-22. Northrop a créé une machine plus rapide que le YF-22 et avec une structure de cellule plus avant-gardiste. Le YF-23 avait également de meilleures propriétés furtives. Cependant, c'était une machine avec moins de maniabilité, une manipulation plus complexe et un peu plus chère. Ces éléments décidèrent qu'en avril 1991 il perdit dans la compétition ATF (Advanced Tactical Fighter) avec le futur Lockheed F-22. Seuls deux prototypes YF-23 ont été construits.
