As a replacement for the F-15, the F-22 features advanced avionics and airframe technology. The USAF is spending $60 million on each of the 650 single seat supersonic fighters. Speed of the Raptor is 1451 m.p.h., with a range of 800 miles. Cannon armament plus air-to-air missiles are the featured weapons.
Designed to meet a US Air Force requirement for an Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) to replace the F-15 Eagle, the F-22 was first flown on September 29th, 1990. The USAF's ATF program aimed to produce a fifth-generation air superiority fighter that would be better matched against emerging new aircraft such as the Su-27 Flanker. The F-22 uses stealth technology and can function in air superiority, ground attack, intelligence and electronic warfare roles. Despite its capabilities, the F-22 program was relatively short-lived; by 2010 its high cost coupled with the development of the F-35 (a more versatile and less expensive aircraft) led to a cessation of F-22 production funding. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
