Instead they have the NOTAR system which uses pressurised air to provide anti-torque and directional control. Bottom: First impression, officially released by the US Air Force, of the YF-22, which is the Lockheed/Boeing/General Dynamics contender for the ATF programme. It is approaching rollout and first flight for an evaluation programme due to be completed by April 1991. More details on page 248 of the July 1990 issue, Inset: N56NA was built in 1942 as a DC-3A, saw USAAF service as a C-53C, and after a long post-war career with various civil operators it starts a new working career on the tea plantations of Mozambique.
