Hey there kids!
We are back to reveal the next jet in our Roll Call: the F-22 Raptor!
The F-22 Raptor is a single-seat, twin-engine fifth-generation fighter aircraft that mainly uses stealth technology. Designed primarily as an “air superiority” fighter, it has been given additional capabilities that include ground attack, electronic warfare and signal intelligence roles. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, the prime contractor, is responsible for building the airframe, weapon systems and it’s final assembly while partner Boeing Defense, Space & Security provided the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and all of the pilot and maintenance training systems. The Raptor, which was previously designated as either F-22 or F/A-22 prior to entering the US Air Force in 2005, is widely recognized by critics as “the most outstanding fighter plane fighter plane ever built” due to it’s combination of speed, agility, stealth, precision and situational awareness, and versatility.
