Lockheed Martin F-22 "Raptor"


5th Generation Air Superiority Fighter

Unmatched in the Skies.



The Lockheed Martin F-22 'Raptor' is the ultimate air superiority fighter anywhere in the world today. It is the product of the United States Air Force's 'Advanced Tactical Fighter' (ATF) program of the 1980s and designed to counter all modern threats as well as those of the near-future. Nothing in the skies can match it for its combination of performance and capabilities - the type ushered in an entirely new era of flight with its '5th Generation' classification. The design lines of this fine fighter have since been mimicked in the Russian Su-57 and the Chinese J-20 - but neither of these entries can truly match the impact of the proven F-22.

Qualities





True Thrust-Vectoring Agility


The variable-position engine outlets of the Raptor, coupled with advanced Fly-by-Wire (FbW) controlling and all-moving tailplanes, give the fighter unparalleled agility against any modern and future foe in the skies.


Extreme Stealth


From specialized skin coatings to proven design lines, the Raptor exudes a low profile against modern radar systems, ensuring survivabiilty of both man and machine over contested battlescapes.


Inside or Out


A sizable internal weapons bay allows the F-22 to carry primary war loads internally, thus maintaining its low radar signature against prying enemy eyes. When stealth is not imperative, underwing external hardpoints can be installed to carry additional air-launched / air-dropped ordnance or extra fuel.


Like No Other


The F-22 Raptor's unique 'diamond' like design ensures the machine is an instantly-recognizable product - and rightfully feared by its enemies due to its powerful inherent capabilities.
