Lockheed Martin/Boeing Martin :
F-22 Raptor was invented in the year 2005 under the Advanced Tactical Fighter ( ATF ) initiative introduced by the United States Air Force ( USAF ). During the Cold War, the best fighter jet of the USAF was the F-15. The USAF needed something which could move faster than sound without burning out the engine and the fuel and could travel a distance of 800 miles and have an amazing speed of Mach 1.5 while being a Stealth Fighter. Thus was born the F-22 Raptor. The F-22 Raptor is by far the most advanced plane in all terms.
The USAF in order to demonstrate the potential of the F-22 showed a controlled dog-fight between two F-22 Fighters and four F-15 Eagles. The dog-fight ended with the defeat of all the four F-15 Eagles without any loss in the F-22 pair. The F-15 pilot said that he wasn't able to see the F-22 in the radar.
The main advantages of the F-22 Raptor
1) The low-observable stealth feature.
2) Two engines.
3) Speed of the F-22.
4) Agility. ( Easily able to move in combat )
