Name: f6hellcat Message: im from the Washington DC area, and ive been to both. pretty spectacular stuff. can't wait for the new renovation and archives wing at the Udvar Hazy Center. wish they'd get an F-16 or an F-15 in there though. |

You can see a list of all possible letter codes involved in the US Tri-Service system on our definitions page Hi Everyone. I have a question that I have always wondered since I have been intrested in aircraft. In the names of some aircraft there is a Y in front of the F. For example: The YF-22 Raptor. Can someone tell me what the Y stands for? Thanks everyone ~JetWhiz <8) Wednesday, September 30, 2009 -- 4:22:38 PM PDT actually there is a difference. X is actually pointing towards an experimental aircraft. not necessarily a combat aircraft (in fact i can only think of a few instances where that happened. that was the JSF) Y is actually used for Young (i think) Fighter. so you get Young Fighter 22. this is used when the aircraft is competing for a contract like with the YF-16 and YF-17. or in this case, the YF-22, and YF-23. as soon as whichever aircraft is decided the winner, the Y is dropped and you just get F-22. |

| 8. | Date Posted: 2009-07-10 10:44:10. Subject: The worst plane ever to fly Name: f6hellcat Message: yeah the V-22 is up there. what about the Hun? or maybe the F-111? according to John Boyd's Energy-Maneuvering theory, the F-111 was not superior to the MiG in almost every aspect. |
