Rangarira ndima iri pasi apa uye ipapo pindura mubvunzo gare gare mumutauro mumwe chetewo sechikamu:  Passage: Zvidzidzo zvakaratidza kuti imwe chete yakatwasuka stabilizer yakanga isina kukwana pamakona akakwirira ekurwisa, uye yakashandurwa kuva mapatya ematanho ematanho, akaturikwa pa45 °, zvichikonzera kugadzirwa kwe "kusununguka kwekugara kwenguva refu", kunowedzera maneuverability. Northrop yakanga isati yava nechivimbo mukubhururuka-ne-waya kutonga uye yakachengetedza zviratidzo zvemafambisi ekufambisa ndege. The mugumisiro ndege, rakabudiswa musi 28 January 1971, akazivisa vaifanira uremu 40,000 lb (18,144 makirogiramu) uye kunonyanyisa nokukurumidza Mach 2, asi akamutsa zvishoma kufarira pakati vatengi vatorwa. The zvikabva wokutanga (serial nhamba 72-1569) akanga vakamhanyira panze pa Hawthorne musi 4 April 1974; ndege yayo yokutanga pa Edwards AFB akauya musi 9 June pamwe Henry "Hank" Chouteau panguva chidhiraivho kubhururuka kwemaminitsi 61 kusvika kukwirira 18,000 tsoka uye kunonyanyisa nokukurumidza 610 makiromita paawa. Chouteau pashure akacherechedza kuti, "Apo vagadziri vedu vakati kuti vari YF-17 vakanga vachienda kupa ndege shure kuti mutyairi wendege, vakanga vachireva izvozvo. Ndezvomurwi womutyairi wehondo". Wechipiri YF-17 (s/n 72-1570) yakatanga kubhururuka musi wa 21 Nyamavhuvhu. Kusvikira muna 1974, YF-17 yakakwikwidzana neGeneral Dynamics YF-16. Mienzaniso miviri yeYF-17 yakabhururuka nendege dzokuedza 288, dzakapedza maawa 345.5. The YF-17 yakawana kunonyanyisa nokukurumidza Mach 1.95, ane yepamusoro mutoro chinhu pamusoro 9.4 g, uye kunonyanyisa kukwirira pamusoro 50,000 ft (15,000 m). Yaigona kuwana 34° angled of attack in level flight, uye 63° in a climb at 50 kt (58 mph, 93 km/h).  Mubvunzo: Ndeipi yakanga iri nguva yokuti YF-17 yechipiri itange kubhururuka?
