Do we know the actual rankings for each proposal in the ATF program? I know Rockwell came dead last, Lockheed 1st and Northrop 2nd, obviously. I think I read somewhere that Vought came in second last but I'm not sure.

1. Lockheed
2. Northrop
3. General Dynamics
4. Boeing
5. McDonnell Douglas
6. Grumman?
7. Rockwell?

Vought did not submit AFAIK. and I thought Grumman came last. Rockwell at least made some attempts at RCS reduction.
