F-22 Raptor

The F-22 Raptor is a single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft. It is widely considered the most capable air superiority fighter ever built, combining supercruise capability, supermaneuverability, stealth, and avionics into a single platform.

Developed as the Advanced Tactical Fighter, first flew in 1997. Entered service in 2005. Production capped at 187 airframes due to high cost. Remains the benchmark for 5th-generation air superiority.
