Imagine if the prototype had performed as well as the pretty future pictures….

Is this a future fighter thread or a Cyclone thread?

There is some conjecture that the prototypes never really got tested.

Boeing also had the potential to be better at mass production than Lockheed.

Boeing had way too many irons in the fire at that point in time to do much.

In the end, we'll never know.

We may never know on the F-47 either.
If it flies, or if it dies.
