Northrop AF-21 Black Tiger Tactical Fighter

AF-21 Black Tiger is associated with speculative future-fighter imagery rather than a documented Northrop operational aircraft program. Public material does not establish a verified first flight, production order, service introduction, or combat career under that designation. Its context is the interest in stealth and future air combat that accompanied real fighter-development efforts. Northrop’s documented YF-23, for example, competed in the United States Advanced Tactical Fighter program, while the company’s F-5 family had an established production and export history. Those real aircraft provide historical background without authenticating the AF-21 name or its imagined capabilities. The precise artistic or design source of the Black Tiger remains unresolved.
