the american f-22 raptor is the best stealth weapon the american f-22 raptor is a sophisticated
jet known for its stealth it was made by the united states of america and has technology
which is hard to rival stealth the ability to avoid detection whether in the form of sensor
audio visual and radar waves the interesting thing about this raptor is that it is also
known by another nickname it is known as the silent plane it is capable for strong defense
and can paralyze enemies through the air boeing and lockheed martin aeronautics are two companies
which have the rights for it based on boeing.com the making of the f-22 raptor replaced the f-15
as the front-line force of america in attacking the enemy's defenses division of responsibilities
it was stated before that there are two different companies that make this jet this is why they have
their own responsibilities in the manufacturing process the reason being to assure maximum quality
the lockheed martin aeronautics has a responsibility to make the front part
cockpit area front wing fins and the stabilizer they also take responsibility for other parts
of the plane these include the center area navigation electronic war system communication
and the weapons support system in addition boeing has other duties which are essential as well
for example building the wings the back part of the jet machine structure aviation integration 70
of the mission software training missions operating support system and fire protection
the physical appearance of the f-22 raptor based on a trusted source this stealth plane is quite a
huge appearance it is 18.9 meters long and 5.08 meters high the wingspan is about 13.56 meters
which makes it especially effective they can also carry a lot of missiles at the same time
this stealth jet is designed to control the air bullet which is stored in its body
this is done in order to not disturb its amazing maneuverability
when the missile launches the hydraulic valve will be opened and directed to the target furthermore
it also includes some bombs that make this plane very scary the first trial in development after
the right preparation and the 19th of november of 1990 this stealth plane made its debut the
result was satisfying and got a lot of compliments from the united states government during that time
this jet can fly with a maximum velocity of 2575 kilometers per hour the exploration speed is more
than 1 825 kilometers it has become one of the most important findings in the aviation industry
after some parties stated that it is worth using the first production of the f-22 was legalized in
april 19 1997. that was done with the launching ceremony held by boeing and other companies those
included lockheed martin and pratt whitney in 2002 boeing sent the titanium and composite wings
the weight reached 2000 pounds or about 907 kilograms for the first f22 raptor production best
moment of the plane in april 2005 boeing has sent 61 sets of wings and 66 back parts for the jet
2005 may have been one of the most amazing years for the f-22 raptor the jet was used by the united
states air force to attack isis in syria the stealth plane completed its first mission and
with good purpose it dropped bombs on multiple targets since that period the development of this
jet is always ongoing the awesome thrust vectoring machine inside it is no exaggeration when the f-22
was said to be one of the most valuable assets owned by america the plane is completed with
the thrust vectoring nozzles and made by a professional engineering team the team was led
by lockheed martin this machine was made to have breathtaking and smooth maneuverability in the air
furthermore it is also the 5th generation fighting jet which is owned by america
there is a rumor that the f-22 will be produced in mass quantities
it is because the raptor is one of the best jets owned by the united states of america so far
however it is still a rumor it is one of the most expensive ones the f-22 raptor has been
designed for 30 years of usage and 8 000 hours of flights it is also in a structured retrofit
program which has a value of 100 million dollars in fact the companies try to find a way to extend
the age of this jet in a long term period there is a possibility that this plane will be replaced
with a sixth generation plane which will utilize better technology whatever the case may be the
f-22 is the most expensive fighting plane in america and also in the world however a 150
million dollar price is a reasonable one because it is equipped with revolutionary equipment you
can say that it is one of the biggest progressions in the aviation industry so far this product can
do an amazing job for america in completing all its operations worldwide operational cost per hour
the operational cost of the plane is 68.36 per hour that is quite a huge number that is quite a
huge number but it is reasonable since this raptor has great potential the fuel need is also quite
large until now the united states of america still makes the f-22 as an exclusive product
that is why it cannot be exported and it is protected by federal law in the country what
is the aim the aim is to protect the stealth technology used and all its secret features
a report stated that japan has been trying to buy this jet because they thought it would be more
efficient and cost effective if they are able to buy the jet japan won't need to buy other planes
how about the kill ratio the kill ratio of this raptor is 108 to zero that is evidence of how
great this jet is a report from northern edge in 2016 reported the data the f-22 was compared
to another earlier version the f-15 the results showed that the f-22 became the winner with its
108-0 kill ratio the plane has perfectly aligned wings that is why it looks as small as a bee on
radar it really is hard to capture china said they found technology which makes detecting it easy
however that announcement must be proven otherwise no one will trust such a broad statement
so
