F/A-22 Raptor

Okay i officially wanna work at Lockheed Martin when i grow up. This company is one of the military contractors which is currently developing one of the hottest fighter planes on the face of this planet.


the F/A-22 Raptor.



This plane is a fighter/attack plane which means that it could be utilised for dogfights in the air and also for bombing targets on the ground. Which, probably means deep shit for the enemy.

Designed to be unnoticable at long range, the body of the raptor is made to deflect radar signals, which employs a wide arraw of saw-tooth edges and and curved surfaces. It is also designed to improve air maneuverability. On a radar, the Raptor would appear to be as small as a bee. Untrackable. Sweet. You won't know what hit you, until it hits you, which would by then be probably too late.

With Dual Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 engines capable of supercruise and thrust vectoring, the Raptor can move to a Speed of mach 1.8 (mach 1.5 w/o afterburner) which is about 612.5 m/s. Crazy? It is also more fuel efficient than any other fighter planes, which means it can travel longer without refuelling...which means it can reach a target attack faster than any other plane out there.


Artillery: six radar-guided AIM-120C medium-range air-to-air missiles [Fuselage]

two heat-seeking AIM-9 Sidewinder short-range air-to-air missiles.

M61A2-20mm multibarrel cannon ....and this is only for air combat....




ROBOTECH, anyone ?
