How does the aircraft export ban work?
So we all know that the F-22 cannot be exported to other countries, but are other countries allowed to take the spoils of the contract competition? What I'm talking about is what's stopping powers that want the F-22 to go for the almost equally capable YF-23? Or is there something that the US government holds a power to have an export ban on the designs of those even though they are not utilizing it?

The YF-23 was developed under US government contract so it is still subject to export laws and companies that do business with the US government are also prevented from developing a completely new fighter on the same level as the F-22/23 for another country.
But mainly because few other countries are capable of producing aircraft that advanced, even from a pre-existing design like the YF-23. And the few that could cannot buy them in numbers that would justify their cost. If they could, they would. |
