A predecessor to the JSF/JAS/X-35/F-35 was the McDonnell Douglas 287-1006, shown below. Dating from 1991, it was a single engine fighter in the F-16 class, optimized for stealth. Shaping clearly had much in common with the F-23.

  1. It looks like the hybrid offspring of the F-22 and F-23; there’s a lot of F-22 in the forward fuselage, particularly in the top view.
