Does the YF-24 really exist?

Do you have any links, stories or anectdotes that would lead us down a similar path of belief as you seem to have?
Why or how does the YF-24 look like the F-22? give us details!
Don't just spew one liner crap and expect us to be wowed by your connections or clairvoyance.

if it looks and performs anything like the stealth in in the movie"stealth" I want one.

Hey folks after a bit of searching

YF-24 Refuling

I found this nice aircraft page that had a wealth of pics but from the uniformity shown in the other pics on the page I would say this is the real deal.

Could this be a designation for an UNMANNED attack vehicle?...not the pic but overall?

Thats an F-22A Raptor

@FredT
I thought it could be but wasent sure he has them labeled as diff planes with diff pics on the page, thanks for the conformation

As well this is real weird

I went through every pic on the page when i made my above post a few hrs ago now when I visit all images are un available except the one I linked.. This isnt normal the error message says yahoo is down for maintenance yet the pic i linked still loads from the page.. try it please this is too close for comfort.

They dont just go down for maintenance and leave one pic available on the page.

Maybe the yf-24 is acually a false designation for the f-15x originally intended to provide a second option in ase the atf program collapsed, and if this is the casw, then it might have only attained a conceptual status, such as the fb-22.

This is what I have on the YF-24: It was another Boeing concept a la "Bird of Prey"

Looks like two different airframes, HatTrick. Looks like the bottom nozzle would enable 3D vectoring. Perhaps the top as well, but it's not as clear to me. The top airframe does look quite a bit like the F-22. And the bottom rather like the Bird of Prey. Wish the pics were bigger. It strains my old eyes.

Bigger pics.

Weirdly, I got sent those same images when I was doing my searches for boeing concept art in patents ect.





Hope they help your 'old eyes' Del.

Nice looking aircraft to boot.

Perhaps a proof of concept vehicle. No way that gets built as a production fighter. Much too small in terms of payload, range, etc (of course, I thought this about the capability of the F-117). Maybe this is the root of the tailless F/B-22 rumours?

Here may be some more evidence that at least a prototype or RCS test model was built considering where it was photographed at. The profile is NOT an exact match, but is very similar and appears to have similar dimensions.
