Models of the New Lockheed
Martin F-22
Raptor Stealth Fighter jet. This F-22
Air Dominance, Air Superiority jet fighter is equipped with a feature called Supercruise. This is where the plane can cruise as supersonic speeds
without using the fuel hungry afterburners. Supercruise will allow
the F-22 to jump on its enemy very quickly and when combined with the F-22 's
new generation stealth technology and avionics, the enemy will never see what
has hit him. Another feature of the F-22 is that it has vectorable
thrust enabling it to maintain control in even the highest angle of attacks
allowing the Raptor to maneuver very quickly. Additionally, the
cockpit is made of a totally new electronics technology. The F-22
is capable of working in groups with data link, radar imagery and other
information to be shared between the pilots of the different aircraft in
its group. This enables the Raptor Pilot to do his job of fighting
while greatly minimizing the radio chatter. This aircraft has many
other features, too many to mention on this page. Read a book, watch
a movie and built a model and you will become a F-22 Raptor expert very quickly. Look
at the F-22 Raptor Pictures on this page and see which photo looks the best.
The F-22 Raptor was previously called the YF-22 until December 2005 when it
entered into service with the United States Air Force as the F-22A

Mission
The F-22A Raptor is the Air Force's newest fighter aircraft. Its combination of
stealth, Supercruise, maneuverability
F-22 Raptor PTS ARF - GreyF-22 Raptor PTS ARF - GreyF-22 Raptor PTS ARF - GreyF-22 Raptor PTS ARF - Grey
variability, and integrated avionics, coupled with
improved supportability, represents an exponential leap in combat capabilities.
The Raptor performs both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions allowing full
realization of operational concepts vital to the 21st century Air Force
Missions.
The F-22A , a critical
component of the Global Strike Task Force, is designed to project air dominance,
rapidly and at great distances and defeat threats attempting to deny access to
our nation's Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The F-22A cannot be matched
by any known or projected fighter aircraft.
The
first Aircraft Delivery was being made to Langley AFB in Va. Langley is to be
first Operational AFB for the F/A-22.
In Actual In-flight (simulated) Combat Operations against the
F-15, two F/A-22s were
able to operate without detection while it went Head to Head against (8) F-15s.
The F/A-22s scored Missile Hits (Kills) against all the F-15 Aircraft and the
F/A-22s were never detected by either the F-15s or Ground Based Radar. Maj.
Gen. Rick Lewis said: 'The Raptor Operated Against All Adversaries with Virtual
Impunity; Ground Based Systems Couldn't Engage and NO Adversary Aircraft
Survived'!
F/A-22, America 's Most Advanced
Fighter Aircraft for the 21st Century!
They're a titanium and carbon fiber dagger. They're so advanced that if their
on-board locator is switched off even our own satellites can lose track of them.
They're the first
military aircraft ever built that is equipped with a 'black-out button'What
that means is this .
The best conditioned
fighter pilots are capable of maintaining consciousness up to
in the vicinity of 15+ G. The Raptor is capable of making 22+ G
turns. If someday an adversary builds a missile that is capable of catching up
to one of these airplanes and a Raptor pilot sees that a strike is imminent, he
hits the 'B.O.B.' and the airplane makes a virtual U-turn, leaving the missile
to pass right on by.
They know that in the process he'll temporarily lose consciousness, so the
Raptor
then automatically comes back to straight and level flight until he wakes back
up.
Features
A combination of sensor capability, integrated avionics, situational awareness,
and weapons provides first-kill opportunity against threats. The F-22A possesses
a sophisticated sensor suite allowing the pilot to track, identify, shoot and
kill air-to-air threats before being detected. Significant advances in cockpit
design and sensor fusion improve the pilot's situational awareness. In the
air-to-air configuration the Raptor carries six AIM-120 AMRAAMs and two AIM-9
Sidewinders.
The F-22A has a
significant capability to attack surface targets. In the air-to-ground
configuration the
aircraft can carry two 1,000-pound GBU-32 Joint Direct Attack
Munitions internally and will use on-board avionics for navigation and weapons
delivery support. In the future air-to-ground capability will be enhanced with
the addition of an upgraded radar and up to eight small diameter bombs. The
Raptor will also carry two AIM-120s and two AIM-9s in the air-to-ground
configuration.
Advances in
low-observable technologies provide significantly improved survivability and
lethality against air-to-air and surface-to-air threats. The F-22A brings
stealth into the day, enabling it to not only protect itself but other assets.
The F-22A engines produce
more thrust than any current fighter engine. The combination of sleek
aerodynamic design and increased thrust allows the F-22A to cruise at supersonic
airspeeds (greater than 1.5 Mach) without using afterburner -- a characteristic
known as Supercruise. Supercruise greatly expands the F-22A 's operating
envelope in both speed and range over current jet fighters, which must use
fuel-consuming afterburner to operate at supersonic speeds.
The sophisticated F-22A
aerodynamics, advanced flight controls, thrust vectoring, and high
thrust-to-weight ratio provide the capability to outmaneuver all current and
projected aircraft. The F-22A design has been extensively tested and refined
aerodynamically during the development process.
The F-22A's
characteristics provide a synergistic effect ensuring F-22A lethality against
all advanced air threats. The combination of stealth, integrated weapons systems
and Supercruise drastically shrinks surface-to-air missile engagement envelopes
and minimizes enemy capabilities to track and engage the F-22A . The combination
of reduced observability and Supercruise accentuates the advantage of surprise
in a tactical environment.
The F-22A will have better reliability and maintainability than any fighter
aircraft in history. Increased F-22A reliability and maintainability pays off
in less manpower required to fix the aircraft and the ability to operate more
efficiently.
Background
The Advanced Tactical Fighter entered the Demonstration and Validation phase in
1986. The prototype aircraft (YF-22 and YF-23) both completed their first
flights in late 1990. Ultimately the YF-22 was selected as best of the two and
the engineering and manufacturing development effort began in 1991 with
development contracts to Lockheed/Boeing (airframe) and Pratt & Whitney
(engines). EMD included extensive subsystem and system testing as well as flight
testing with nine aircraft at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The first EMD
flight was in 1997 and at the completion of its flight test life this aircraft
was used for live-fire testing.
The program received approval to enter low rate initial production in 2001.
Initial operational and test evaluation by the Air Force Operational Test and
Evaluation Center was successfully completed in 2004. Based on maturity of
design and other factors the program received approval for full rate production
in 2005. Air Education and Training Command and Air Combat Command are the
primary Air Force organizations flying the F-22A . The aircraft designation was
the F/A-22 for a short time before being renamed F-22A in December 2005.
