=The F-22 Raptor=

its faster, more accurate, has better stealth, and can carry more munition than any other fighter, created by any other country. Lock-head Marines tactical weapons deivishon made it too be the most advanced aircraft to fly the sky's to date. this new aircraft is named the F-22, the Raptor for short. the F-22 production began in September 7th 1997, after its maiden flight. The F-22 was formally enlisted in the air force in December 2005. the F-22 raptor has never been in a combat siduashon other than in tests in controlled areas. The Raptor is the first fifth generation fighter plain too be manufactured

The millatery released the speed of the Raptor at a super cruse speed of Mach 1.82, faster than the speed of sound, and with afterburners on travels at a speed greater than Mach 2.84, almost three times the speed of sound ( without missile ordnance.), but the true speed could be much greater than ether of thees numbers. The f-22 can maneuver a 60 degree turn at Mach 2.0, its speed is partially do too its engine design which gives it a thrust too weight rachio of 1:1 trust to weight is how efficient a jet, propeler or rocket works.

the F-22 has an internal missile compartment that can hold over 8,000 lbs of millitery weapons. Theas weapons are inhansed with the new JDAM weapons system, for improved acuracy, and consistency. The F-22 is not limited by its internal compartment, it is also equip with four external “hard points” which can hold air-air missals for more fire power or external fuel tanks for longer flights across seas, and wepons pods, (atachabel wepons bays) can be atached. The F-22 also has a 22-mm rotating cannon attached too the front for dog-fighting.

the mackers of the F-22, Lock Head Marines have signed an exclusiv contract with the USA bannding the export of the F-22, this is so that no other contry can use this mechin for there own perposis. The F-22 is owned soly by America. Japan and Australia both have voiced strong feelings twords the F-22 and purchising it, but conngres has no intint too sell the F-22 too other nations, for resons of natonal security.

The F-22 is unmached in stelth, it has an RAM ( radar absorbing material) coating too mack to invisabel on a radar, and a special radar resistant body, for extra stelth, the F-22 is also desighned too hide its inered signature, too help against infered homing missils (heat seeking missils), and surface-air and air-air missals, in short the F-22 can not be tracked by missils. Its the perfict wepon for the USA, untrackebel, and untarget-able. The F-22 design team had the idea of “shoot and kill air-to-air threats before being deatected.” ( __[|www.af.mi]__ “features”) the F-22 is the product of two componys, lock head marins, and Boeing Integrated Defense Systems. Theas two gropes coexist too desighn military arms, and too innovate current military technology. The F-22wings, fuselage, avionics integration, and all training systems for the F-22 was designed by Boeing Integrated Defense Systems. Lock head marines is responsible for the of the frame, weapons and assembly of the F-22.

The USA was recently given a contract by the UN too send F-22 fighters to the Libyan war zone, in order to enforce the no fly zone placed by the UN too stop air strikes against the revolting citicins. This contract has shown the world that the F-22 is the world’s best fighter jet too be designed, and that the UN is reliant on its ability’s. the F-22 will undoughtably leave its mark on the contry of Libya, as well as the rest of the world. Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada was on the 14 th of January 2003 recived the first F-22 to be produced, one year later 51 F-22 had been delivered too the base. As of today 20 raptors are produced and delivered a year. On august 29 th 2007 lock head celebrated there 100 th F-22 sold to the US. The US signed a contract with Lock head marines too extend production of F-22 threw 2011.
