  Advanced Tactical Fighter
Unlike earlier designs, the ATF is a careful blend of advanced aerodynamics, propulsion and electronics and involves a degree of system integration never before attempted in a tactical aircraft.
The ATF was to be the successor to the F-15, a long range air superiority fighter with the performance to kill any other tactical aircraft and the operating radius to threaten targets deep inside the USSR while flying from bases in Western Europe.
The F-4 was the mainstay of the USN's and USAF's tactical fighter force in the SouthEast Asian conflict.

 The Advanced Tactical Fighter [YF-22 and YF-23]
The ATF flight profiles are sufficiently unconventional to create major difficulties for a fixed bypass ratio engine designer attempting to reconcile the diverse demands of lower speed operation and supersonic cruise.
It is clear from published accounts that the ATF is an enormous step forward in aerodynamic and low observables performance in comparison with the teen series fighters and their Soviet counterparts.
Tactical radius and cruise speed are also critical parameters for the mission, in both areas the ATF is well ahead of the teen series fighters.

  Soviet Union/Russia Mig-29 Fighter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
During the late 1960's, the Russian General Staff launched a requirements study for a "Perspektivnyi Frontovoi Istrebitel" or "PFI" (Advanced Tactical Fighter) which was directed at an advanced tactical fighter paralleling the development in the US for the "FX" that became the F-15.
The new lightweight fighter was to undertake autonomous operations from austere sites to achieve air superiority over the tactical theater and provide limited escort and surface attack capabilities.
There is another advanced design project at Mikoyan that is called Type 701, that was earmarked to be a replacement for the MiG-31 family of strategic interceptors and "mother-ships".

 ATF, Advanced Tactical Fighter Aircraft
The ATF was contracted to provide the next generation tactical fighter, blending low- observable (stealth) technologies and new advances in aerodynamic design.
The ATF is described as being a long range, low detectability, curise supersonic without afterburner, carry a respecable payload of air to air missiles and still have another 1/3 power available at supersonic speeds.
The ATF is expected to enter Full Scale Development in September of 1991 after the two demonstration aircraft define the technology base for the final implementation, by December of 1990.

 Mikoyan Project 1.44 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many of its design features are similar to those found on fifth generation Western fighters, including thrust vectoring, supersonic cruise and modern avionics.
The 1.44 is a delta-winged, twin-tailed single seat air superiority/strike fighter with an all-moving forward canard plane.
Avionics on the 1.44 are considered cutting-edge by Western standards: the glass-cockpit-enabled fighter features a pulse Doppler radar with a phased aerial array antenna.

 Advanced Tactical Fighter 2
The ATF is designed to be long legged, with 25,000 lb class internal fuel capacity supplemented by inflight refuelling.
In comparison with the A-12, the ATF was considered politically expendable as it is seen (incorrectly in my opinion) as a dedicated killer of PVO/VVS aircraft, while the F-15s will remain viable for at least another decade.
Therefore the Navy is unlikely to buy any Naval ATFs until the end of the decade, by which time the Lockheed product will have matured whereas the Northrop one will have sat on the shelf.

 THE ADVANCED TACTICAL FIGHTER FOR THE 21ST CENTURY -- [CRITICAL CAPABILITIES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY (ABRIDGED)] ...
The ATF is being developed as the next-generation air superiority aircraft to replace the F-15 fighter.
Iraq's air force, for example, is composed of 701 tactical fighter, ground attack, and reconnaissance aircraft, including top-of-the-line MiG-29 fighters, and Su-24 and Su-25 ground attack aircraft, along with the Mirage F-1, MiG-25, MiG-23, and a variety of other older aircraft that retain at least some combat effectiveness.
ATF technologies are well within reach, and the ATF prototype program offers very high confidence that no major unexpected technical hurdles remain.

ATF is instantly recognizable as the former EA title, US Navy Fighters recycled with a minor face lift.
Since ATF is Navy Fighters with slight modifications, prepare for the thrill of a DOS game.
Players will not remember ATF as an innovative flight simulation, but ATF will go down as the first in what may be a memorable and ground- breaking partnership between Jane's Information Group and Electronic Arts.

 Aerospaceweb.org | Aircraft Museum - F/A-22 Raptor
These advances include its angular design, use of radar-absorbant composite materials, and the ability to "supercruise," or cruise at supersonic speeds without using an afterburner.
Other advanced systems aboard the Raptor include an integrated avionics suite built around a powerful flight computer with 3 times the memory and 16 times the speed of that used on the F-15.
Despite its advanced systems and exceptional performance, few examples of the F/A-22 may be purchased due to the aircraft's high price that has been estimated as high as $250 million apiece.

 The Lockheed Martin F-22 Advanced Stealth Tactical Fighter
The F-22's primary mission is air superiority, defined by the USAF as "the ability to achieve local air control at a time and place of our own choosing." The odds are in favor of the side with the faster aircraft with greater range, operating under the fewest artificial constraints.
The Raptor's secondary goal is to destroy as many of the enemy's front-line fighters as possible for the smallest possible number of losses.
The F-22 is also the first fighter to be designed from the outset to use vectored thrust for control.

The F-22 Raptor, developed at Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is the replacement for the F-15 Eagle air-superiority fighter and will become operational early this century.
It combines stealth design with the supersonic, highly maneuverable, dual-engine, long-range requirements of an air-to-air fighter, and it also will have an inherent air-to-ground capability, if needed.
The purpose of the F-22 program is to develop, field, and support the next-generation, air-dominance fighter weapon system, and to establish the standard for acquisition excellence.

The eponymous ATF, or Advanced Tactical Fighter, is shown from behind.
The old ATF did well on the Speccy, combining fast graphics with a modicum of strategy and sim details, but it's hardly a £25 product.
The 3-D is unimpressive with minimal variety, while good presentation and a plethora of sim touches such as vectored thrust for tight turns look nice but add little to gameplay.

The ATF effort was one of the first fighters to be designed from the beginning with computers.
The ATF designers would do a first-generation lines database on ACAD so they could be iterated quickly.
