From what I read, there were 3 designs submitted for the USAF's LFX competition.

YF-16 by General Dynamics
YF-17 by Northrop
????? by Boeing.

Although the USAF originally liked both the GD and Boeing designs (rather disliking the YF-17), the Pentagon changed the rules mid-competition, forcing the USAF to include one twin-engined competitor. The Boeing design was tossed out.

What I want to know is whether or not anyone has more info on the Boeing design. I would like a description of its appearance (fairly detailed so I can imagine what it looks like) or even better, a concept drawing or a picture of a model or mock-up.

I was able to find this, but I have NO idea what the language is. It LOOKS Russian but it doesnt translate through Bablefish. Some interesting designs.
