N2  - Describes the initial programme goals and the philosophy underlying the U.S. Air Force Lightweight Fighter (LWF) Program. The LWF program consisted of the design, development, and flight testing of two different representative advanced fighter configurations, each incorporating various new or emerging technologies. Two examples of each design were built. The overall purpose of the program was to assess the potential value of the selected technologies and to reduce the risk in applying them to future weapon systems
