The yf-23 was a cool jet that used a buttload of carbon fiber and other materials to create the wing. If it worked,it would have been great,but everytime they baked one under vaccuum there were air bubbles trapped in it. Remember we didn't see the F-117 Nighthawk for more then 10 years after it was built. Lockheed Skunkworks and Area-51. They wouldn't have decomissioned the SR-71 without a replacement. Just imagine what we haven't seen .......
