Verification on origin of Valkyrie name


Syngyne

Uxi, sure you don't have -22 and -23 confused? I mean, how could the YF-22 (with FOUR tail fins of different shape) possibly look more like the YF-21's TWO fins, when the YF-23 has TWO fins set at the same angle as the YF-21 with the same shape fins? That's always been the #1 thing---YF-23's tail configuration is utterly unique, and the same as the YF-21's. (Somewhat belatedly known as a pelican tail due to proposed X-32 configuration)

I think it's the way the rear edge of the yf-21's wing is cut inwards slanting back towards the nose area before it meets the fuselage.

It makes the diamond shape a little less obvious.

Yeah as soon as I posted, I saw the engines coming out of the fuselage area (top view) and the way the vertical stabilizers angle out the same (side view). The shape of the YF-23 wings is triangular and different from the Omega One, though, and the YF-22's are a bit closer...

But I might be colored by the shape of my Yamato rather than lineart and such that I don't have. ;) But i'm less confused now. B)
