F-22 Raptor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The F-22 became the "Raptor" when the first production-representative plane was unveiled on April 9, 1997, at Lockheed-Georgia Co., Marietta, Georgia. Raptor 4001 was retired and sent to Wright-Patterson AFB to be fired at for testing the fighters' survivability. The Raptor’s software is composed of over 1.7 million lines of code, most of which concerns processing data from the radar [6]. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/F-22_Raptor   (2130 words)

Lockheed Martin F/A-22 Raptor A further seven Raptors will are scheduled to join 00-4012 with the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron by the end of 2004, with nine more due to join the 57th Wing at Nellis AFB between 2008 and 2009. The F/A-22 Raptor has its origin as far back as the early 1970s with a Tactical Air Command (TAC) study known as TAC-85. Raptor number 11 (99-4011), the last Dedicated Initial Operational Test and Evaluation aircraft, made its first flight on September 16, 2002 and was formally accepted by the USAF on November 26, 2002. home.att.net /~jbaugher4/f22_1.html   (8676 words)

The Lockheed Martin F/A-22 Raptor The Raptor can also be fitted with a total of four underwing stores pylons for fuel or external stores, though this sacrifices the aircraft's stealth characteristics, and is intended mainly for carriage of ferry tanks. The Raptor also has three weapons bays, including a main weapons bay on the bottom of the fuselage and a small weapons bay on the side of each air intake. The Raptor is run by 2.5 million lines of software, with about 90% of it written in the Department of Defense's Ada language. www.vectorsite.net /avf22.html   (4411 words)

Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor The first F-22 Raptor next-generation air dominance fighter, 4001, was unveiled at a rollout ceremony at Marietta, Georgia, on 9th April 1997. The 'team' contracted to develop the F-22 Raptor is Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company and Boeing Defense and Space Group's Military Airplane Division. According to LMASC, on 12th January 1999, a new MiG fighter conceived as a Russian response to the Raptor was unveiled. www.aeroflight.co.uk /types/usa/lockheed_martin/f-22/F-22_Raptor.htm   (1011 words)

F-22 Raptor - History The F-22 Raptor achieves air dominance through the skillful blending of stealth technologies, supercruise engines, agility though thrust vectoring, and integrated avionics. The amount of "stealth" achieved was modest, and the cost for a third of the relative combat effectiveness of the F-22 amounted to 90 percent of the cost of the F-22 itself. As a result, the Raptor can fly very high, very far, and very fast with little risk of detection or intercept and strike with near-impunity against both airborne and ground-based targets. www.f22fighter.com /history.htm   (1892 words)

Aerospaceweb.org Aircraft Museum - F-22 Raptor By 2006, over 50 F-22 Raptors had been delivered to the Air Force out of more than 80 ordered. The Raptor program was set back by numerous delays in manufacturing, software development, and flight testing that pushed service entry back by several years. 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. www.aerospaceweb.org /aircraft/fighter/f22   (785 words)

Defense Tech: Raptor Watch Archives The controversial F/A-22 "Raptor" stealth fighter "is months away from being declared war-ready, but the Pentagon is still trying to decide where it fits in its vision of future warfare," observes the Washington Post. While the Raptor is primarily an air superiority/dominance fighter, taking down radar installations and missile sites is a critical part of air dominance strategy and this fits in with the "kick in the doors" mentality that many use with respect to the Raptor. A fleet of 277 Raptors was downsized to 179 -- despite a massive PR campaign from the Air Force. www.defensetech.org /archives/cat_raptor_watch.html   (2728 words)

Code One Magazine: F-22 Pilot Perspective — October 2000 If the Raptor is protecting a strike force, the adversary fighters will be engaged and downed farther away from the strikers and long before an enemy missile can be launched against the friendlies. The Raptor’s higher cruise speed makes intercept more difficult and reduces enemy missile range more significantly. The Raptor is always in a combat configuration, fully loaded and ready for war. www.codeonemagazine.com /archives/2000/articles/oct_00/f-22/f22_1.html   (2804 words)

Nieman Watchdog > Ask This > The F-22 Raptor is said to be invisible...until it isn't After years of controversy, the Air Force and Defense Department reached a final agreement on the Raptor program, with DoD and Congress approving full production of the stealth fighter while capping the program at 183 aircraft, a 50-percent reduction of the 381 planes that the service had long said it needed at a minimum. Early reports from mock deployments of the Raptor also show a major shortfall in the fighter’s sustainability in combat, Sprey said. That is because in order to locate the enemy beyond visual range, the Raptor (like every other fighter) must turn on its own radar, immediately betraying its location. niemanwatchdog.org /index.cfm?fuseaction=ask_this.view&askthisid=00197   (1028 words)
