The F-22 “Raptor” is an extremely advanced air superiority stealth fighter with it's first flight being in September of 1997, and entering service on the 15th of September, 2005. The F-22 utilizes thrust vectoring, a new advanced technology where the nozzle of the jet exhaust pitches to increase maneuverability, the F-22's pitching at ±20°. The F-22 uses 2 extremely powerful Pratt and Whitney F119 engines and produce 35,000lbs/f of thrust… EACH! Which is 70,000lbs/f in total, combined with thrust vectoring, this allows for extremely good performance. These powerful engines allow it to reach speeds of Mach 2.25 and also being able to super cruise, or being able to fly supersonic without afterburners, one of few. It also can reach an altitude of 65,000ft. The F-22 also uses advanced stealth technology and avionics to make it the most advanced fighter in the world. In turn the F-22 is an unmatched fighter and is easily the best in the world.
