Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, 2016
An F-22 Raptor from Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, prepares to land at MacDill AFB, Florida, March 18, 2016, for AirFest 2016. The F-22 was set up as a static display for visitors to get a close-up look at the world's best air dominance fighter. The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft developed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The result of the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter program, the aircraft was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but has additional capabilities including ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence roles. The F-22 Raptor air superiority fighter is almost invisible to radars. This aircraft carries a powerful array of weaponry. It is the most advanced and most expensive production fighter aircraft to date. Many of sensors and avionics of this plane remain classified. This advanced aircraft was never offered for export customers, even other allies and NATO countries. Currently it is the best fighter aircraft ever built.
