F-22 Raptor



"Dude! That's the F-22 Raptor! That's one single-seated, twin-engined, all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft that the United States Air Force uses when it entered service in 2005 as the F-22A. Well, this one here can terrify the Coalition of the Red Star as well, which is merely anticipating as well."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Prologue

The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a single-seat, twin-engine, all weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft developed for the United States Air Force. The aircraft was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but has additional capabilities including ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence roles.[6] Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor and is responsible for the majority of the airframe, weapon systems, and final assembly of the F-22. Program partner Boeing provides the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and training systems. The aircraft was variously designated F-22 and F/A-22 prior to formally entering service in December 2005 as the F-22A. Despite a protracted development and operational issues, the USAF considers the F-22 a critical component of its tactical air power, and claims that the aircraft is unmatched by any known or projected fighter. The Raptor's combination of stealth, aerodynamic performance, and situational awareness gives the aircraft unprecedented air-to-air capabilities.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, the F-22 Raptor is used by the Grand Alliance. Due to the popularity by numerous factions, several modifications exists and are used by heroes.
