I thought that the Northrop Grumman F/B 23 Rapid Theater Attack aircraft was a Northrop Grumman concept for the US Air Force's interim bomber requirement, which also gave us the Lockheed Martin FB-22 and the Boeing B-1R concepts. The interim bomber was meant to supplement the US Air Force bomber force and enter service in 2018 using an existing airframe. It appears that this requirement has been cancelled by the 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review in favor of a more long-term bomber with greater range.At this time, should we consider the F/B-23, FB-22, and B-1R projects to be dead?
